Located in the popular "Benzaiten Nakamise Street," which extends from the bronze torii gate to the large red torii gate of "Enoshima Shrine," this shop attracts long lines of customers eager to try the octopus senbei made from 2 to 3 whole grilled octopuses.

The square-shaped senbei clearly shows the shape of the octopus! The perfectly balanced soy sauce seasoning and the crispy texture that concentrates the umami of the octopus make it irresistible.
