Hi! I had a chirashi bowl the other day and was wondering if someone could help me identify this rolled up thing. The texture was firm yet slimy and the flavor was very mild, almost like nothing. It was also wrapped around an herb (mitsuba I think). Anyway, if you know what this is please let me know! It's been driving me crazy!!

squid with shiso
Squid right
It’s ika, squid, rolled around a shiso leaf. It’s an impressive pile of sashimi!
Ika
Oh man, I love ika (squid). The texture is so weird.
Elmers glue
Squirt is best when its ultra fresh
Oba Ika
Curious, how much was the bowl? And restaurant?
Man.. It’s a good thing you made sure to have the second angle pic cause I don’t think reddit would’ve figured it out otherwise… Jkjk
It’s chewy because I think it’s a little thick, and the cuts should have been deeper, you would enjoy if it was thinner, I love squid!
That meal looks awesome!
You need to try ika nigiri next time, it’s fantastic
Is the squid raw on sashimi? I’ve ate deep fried and pan seared but never raw.
