Ika sōmen (イカそうめん, 烏賊素麺, いかソーメン, "squid noodles") refer to a type of sashimi that is made from raw squid cut into fine strips, vaguely resembling sōmen type noodles. They are typically served with grated ginger and soy sauce[1] or a soy sauce-based mentsuyu sauce. They are slurped up,[1][2] much in the way that noodles are eaten according to Japanese custom. | ||||||
