There’s nothing quite like a jar of tentacles and rice to start your day! This ひっぱりだこ飯 (Hipparidako Rice) is available for 1,080 yen at bento stands found in Japan Railway stations called Awajiya. They contain octopus tentacles in addition to vegetables, conger eel, and seasoning. The best part is you get to keep the jar when you finish it. Please try it if you get the chance, because the texture and freshness of the tentacles is unrivaled!
Miam I so want to try that, will look for it!!!
Definitely! I tried this at the JR Kyoto Station, but they are all over Japan! They also have a delivery form here (if you live in Japan): http://www.awajiya.co.jp/orderform/takuhai_order.htm
I’m going to Kyoto at the end of the month so I’ll try it, I can’t wait 😊. Just arrived in Tokyo
Welcome here!! Hope you enjoy your stay. You came an a good time! Next week on Monday is a national holiday called Umi no hi (Marine Day) so you might see some celebrations going on!
