Every time I passed the sushi case, the octopus was there, daring me to step up and order some. Yesterday, I finally did. Have you had it before? You just have to get past the fact that it’s covered in suckers. The texture is not nearly as chewy as you may think. Heather described it as almost crunchy, like a soft water chestnut. It has a mild flavor and is truly excellent.
It was too beautiful not to photograph the whole leg, but we served it diced up into bite-sized pieces, along with finely diced ginger and scallions, and drizzled with teriyaki sauce.

That photo is gorgeous. Love the colour. Octopus looks intimidating but it is devine when cooked well and served with the right condiments.
Thanks, Nicola! I’m glad you like it! Yes, it really is divine. I”m looking forward to the next time. Cheers!
Stunning photograph 🙂 and I love octopus!
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you liked it.
That looks good. Good octopus should not be chewy but easily bitable. Tasting with salt is the best.
Thanks, Ayako! Oh, we are definitely going to try it again soon, with salt. Thanks for the tip!
