How dried squid (Ichiban dried squid) is made2
a. Getting ready
Fresh squid is cut in half down the middle of the belly. The head is cut in half down the middle, and the eyes and guts are taken out. The skin, soft shell, beak, and fins are still there.
b. Cleansing
First, the cleaned squid is washed in salt water to get rid of any stuck-on dirt or germs. Then, it is washed in fresh water to get rid of the salt.
c. Drying-shaping
There are different ways to dry things, like suspension drying and pin drying, but hanging drying is the most common method. The squid are prepped and washed, and then the ropes are stretched and the squid are hung in places that get a lot of sunshine. The arms are separate and spread out to make drying easier. At night, when there is good airflow, the squid is left on the ropes.
The next day, the squid are taken off the rope and stretched and shaped. The squid is then laid out with their backs facing up on a straw mat and dried in the sun. During the drying process, they are turned over to keep the process going. At night, they are put in boxes with a layer of plastic on top. The next day, they are taken out and stretched and formed again. They are put on straw mats and stretched out until they are dry enough.
