Let's walk around eating big octopus feet!
Dekkiteko-no-Eating" was introduced in the Yomiuri Shimbun on March 2 (Sat.)!
At "Restaurant Uzu no Oka" (Fukura, Minami-Awaji City), which commands a panoramic view of the Naruto Straits, a takeout menu featuring a long, thick octopus leg on a skewer (2,160 yen including tax) is now available, and is very popular. The octopus, which has been cut into a bell-shaped slit, is soft enough to be chewed through. Served with Awaji Island salt and lemon to enhance the flavor, the dish has been praised for "spreading the flavor of octopus. The dish was originally introduced last fall, when seasonal seafood was scarce, as the main dish on the restaurant's new menu, "Island Octopus Tako-Tataki Chawan" (2,420 yen). Tourists flocked to the restaurant and asked to take some home, so in February, the restaurant skewered the octopus and began selling it. Yuji Miyaji, managing director of Uzunokuni Minami-Awaji, said, "Awaji Island's octopus is our most popular specialty. We hope people will bite into these skewers, which have a big impact," he said.
