How is the idea of sipping sake from dried squid cups? Isnât it a bit weird? However, I think sometimes doing normal things in a bit strange way brings a satisfaction of strange kind. Nowadays, production of sun-dried squid skins, commonly know as Ika Tokkuri, is in a good swing, as the idea of having sake in squid cups is being liked very much by the people.
The main reason behind this liking is that when you pour hot sake into an Ika Tokkuri then the taste of squid also melts into the sake, which gives it a mild taste. Amazingly, once you are done with sake you can gobble up the squid container, even. I can dare say when you buy Ika Tokkuri; you not only buy a container but something that can also munch, finally!
