Octopus beak (the tonbi, or mouthpart), seasoned sweet and savory and smoked. It is chewy and satisfyingly substantial, with a pleasant, faintly smoky aroma, making it a Hokkaido souvenir that pairs perfectly with sake.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer describes smoked octopus beak (tonbi) seasoned sweet-savory, with a chewy bite, generous volume and a light smoky fragrance that suits sake. They recommend it for people who find ordinary snacks unsatisfying. Bought at the Kakizaki shop in Yoichi; value scored average.
