Fukuoka’s spear squid grows thicker in the autumn, increasing in sweetness and flavor. Truly top-rank in deliciousness. This dish stir-fries the squid with plenty of vegetables like cabbage, bean sprouts, and onions. Seasoning is kept simple with just salt and pepper, enhancing the natural sweetness of the squid and vegetables. “The squid stays plump because we quickly cook it on the griddle,” says Mr. Tamagawa. Using a whole squid gives this dish excellent volume as well.
The key to the flavor is the batter mixed with a special broth and the signature sauce that has been replenished since the restaurant’s founding. Not only locals but also many foreign visitors come to this celebrated hidden gem in Fukuoka.
