The wasabi and soy sauce expired last year, but since I was only going to mix the wasabi in the soy sauce anyway, I just mixed them together, but it was so bitter... I thought I couldn't eat it anymore, so I threw it away and put my own soy sauce and wasabi in and it was delicious.

Everyone said the portion size was small, so I was expecting it... Some people said it had a fishy smell, but I was fine with it~ It was delicious! The squid itself was a bit salty, so you could eat it without soy sauce. I just ate it this time, but next time I'm going to try making it into raw fish soup. I would definitely buy it again.

I haven't tried this yet, and it looks like the octopus I've had in the past. I like to eat it sashimi style with soy sauce and wasabi or ponzu sauce. The only downside is that there's a lot of octopus frozen together and I'll have to defrost them together and that's a lot of octopus for just one sitting.

A very large and fresh octopus is used to make octopus carpaccio. Looking forward to the results.
