IKE JIME

活け締め


SACRIFICE TECHNIQUE

The technique comes from Japan. 


Ike jime is a method that seeks to treat octopus with respect, obtaining a product of the highest quality, both in flavor and texture and appearance. 

FEATURES

It consists of quickly and directly inserting a spike into the animal's hindbrain, normally located behind and above the eye, causing immediate brain death.

The octopus is refrigerated immediately to ensure its proper preservation.


The buildup of lactic acid is reduced, thus avoiding the metallic and bitter taste that can be present in traditionally slaughtered octopus.

The meat becomes firmer and less flaccid. 

Se evita la decoloración y se mantiene un color más atractivo. 

La descomposición se retrasa, lo que permite una mayor vida útil del pescado. 

El desarrollo del sabor umami se favorece, especialmente al preparar pulpo. 

MARUYASU

Japanese cooking technique

  • This unique cooking technique was created in 1967 by Toshiyuki Kawasaki in Akashi, west of Kobe. 

  • Born and raised in the famous Akashi region, one of Japan's main octopus-producing areas, the Kawasaki brothers began working with raw octopus at a young age. Over time, they saw an opportunity to increase the efficiency of this product's distribution by boiling it.

  • Seeking the best way to maintain the exquisite balance between tenderness, freshness, and flavor, they developed a special cooking method. This method improved the presentation and quality of a ready-to-eat product.

After several years of refinement, they created the MARUYASU technique . This technique was so popular that it became the industry's best-known boiling octopus technique and is used in most octopus products sold in Japan.

  • MARUYASU boiled octopus lives up to the Japanese word meaning "perfect seasoning." Octopus is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sashimi and exceptional culinary preparations. Its exquisiteness will always shine through, even when grilled or fried.

  • MARUYASU octopus will be a soft and delicious complement to any octopus dish anywhere in the world, helping to enrich everyone's table.
