Who wants pickled tako?
Tako! Fresh… well, looks fresh but isn’t actually fresh since it has been in the freezer for a couple weeks, so let me start that over… Fresh-looking octopus, raw and soaked in vinegar. Yummy!
Here I am cutting the octopus, tasty snack. Strange, octopus “tako” was one of the things I was most afraid to eat when I came to Japan, especially raw octopus. Now, however, it is perhaps my favorite Japanese dish!
Here we go, fresh from the ziplock bag.
Snack size! Perfect on crackers with cheese or just by themselves.
Up close and personal.
