Fascinating, I could imagine myself enjoying that.
I've always been curious... do you travel around Asia everyday?
I see foods from all over the place!
They were selling these at about S$5 a squid during a 'Hokkaido Fair' at Tampines Mall last month. And I think Medi-Ya stocks them in vacuum packed plastic bags that you had to dunk into boiling water to heat up.
