Takowasa is a bold and briny Japanese appetizer made from raw octopus (tako) finely chopped and marinated in a mix of wasabi, soy sauce, and sometimes mirin or yuzu zest. Served chilled, often in small portions with seaweed or cucumber slices, Takowasa delivers a strong wasabi kick, tender-chewy texture, and refreshing finish. A favorite in izakayas (Japanese pubs), it’s typically enjoyed as a drinking snack with beer or sake and is prized for its sharp, clean flavor.
