Marinating Quotes

“Okizuke is made by marinating squid in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin and sake. Oki means "offshore" and zuke "preserved" or "pickled." The dish is said to have been invented by fishermen; they would catch the squid and put it in the preserving mixture while at sea, and it would be ready to eat by the time they got back to shore.”
