It is quite dry, and you can feel the umami taste. I feel it penetrates into my stomach.
It does not have a mellow aroma, but I personally like it.
I paired it with sushi, slices of tuna, pickled salted mackerel, and salted fish.
Sushi and sashimi go well together without question.
The salted mackerel in a salted fish sauce is neither good nor bad.
I bought this salted squid at a roadside station in Tottori. It is a simple one with no seasoning other than salt. Compared to regular salted squid, it has less richness without the guts. But this is just the way I like it.
It was delicious in itself, but it was neither good nor bad when it comes to whether or not it goes well with sake.
If it is very dry without umami, it might go well with sake.
