Full of calcium, granted, but about as appetising as Sheffield gutter sweepings. I did my best to avoid it, along with the majority of the food in Japan. Sake rules though, one of my best memories is being ruined on sake and cycling around a lake, in the dark, pretending I can balance and singing Co_dot songs. Great memories.
Ouch, given Ika (squid) or tako (octopus) your first time. I'm guessing that it was that your first time eating sushi. If so that sucks Sushi is great but if you eat squid for you first time it might ruin your Sushi experience. I would recommend giving sushi another chance, but you should try Maguro first. Its doesn't have a strong flavor and its not chewy so its the perfect starter for beginning Sushi. After you get use to more and more kinds you should try Ika again. I didn't like Ika the first time I ate it but now I like it a bit more than I did before.

Than again some people just don't like Sushi.
