烏賊飯 / Ikameshi

「烏賊飯」是道南地區的森町的名產。在烏賊的身體裡塞入米粒（粳米和糯米混合），放到醬汁裡面燉煮後米就會被炊熟。醬汁是以醬油為基底的甜醬汁。這道料理最吸引人的點就是吸飽烏賊高湯的軟糯米飯的味道。是由阿部商店使用森町產的槍烏賊於1941年時推出的料理。之後到北海道外的百貨公司活動等展出後，受到莫大的迴響。

Ikameshi is a local specialty of Mori Town in the southern part of Hokkaido. Two different types of raw rice (one the typical staple, and the other stickier) are put into a squid's body and simmered in special thick soup with a sweet-flavored soy sauce base. The texture of soft squid and gentle sticky rice complement each other nicely. Ikameshi was invented by Abe Shouten, a local bento box shop, in 1941. In those days, a lot of squid were caught off Mori Town and the shop owner needed to make use of them. After exposure at temporary showcases at department stores in Honshu, the dish became famous.
