Notable Moments
I like the portion this place provided. It's so many varieties, but each one is so tasty, so you can sample a lot of stuff at the same time.
The best thing about squid is the chewing sound.
There were humorous moments when the group discovered unexpected flavors, such as the pistachio-flavored item that looked like ice cream, and jokes about ordering fish eggs and the environmental impact.
