This is a spicy batter-fried squid snack that has a crunchy texture and spicy taste. This snack is a perfect treat to enjoy with alcoholic drinks.
Each snack piece is reminiscent of a squid’s upper body (fin and mantle) and it has a thick spicy seasoning. Although the package says it is piri-kara (zesty), some consumers who try it say that it is fairly pungent, so people who enjoy a spicy flavor will also like this snack.
You can use this snack as a topping; for instance, you can break this snack down to smaller bits, and add them to salad like croutons. You can also use them as a substitute for ikaten tempura bits by finely crushing them.
