Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh squid (cleaned)

- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 cup Daikon radish (finely shredded)
- 6 leaves Shiso leaves (optional)
- 1 piece Lemon (sliced into wedges)
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by cleaning the squid thoroughly if it hasn’t been pre-cleaned. Remove the head, innards, cartilage, and outer skin. Wash the body and tentacles under cold water and pat dry.
Step 2
2. Use a sharp knife to slice the squid body into thin, uniform pieces, approximately 1/8 inch thick. For aesthetic presentation, you can carve the slices into wavy or cross-hatched patterns by lightly scoring the surface.
Step 3
3. Arrange the sliced squid and tentacles on a chilled serving plate. Garnish with shredded daikon radish and shiso leaves (optional) for a traditional Japanese touch.
Step 4
4. Prepare a dipping sauce by combining the low-sodium soy sauce or tamari with a dollop of wasabi paste and grated ginger. Mix well.
Step 5
5. Serve the squid sashimi immediately, accompanied by lemon wedges for an optional zesty squeeze and the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
Step 6
6. Enjoy the natural, clean flavors of the squid, enhanced by the simple yet flavorful accompaniments.
