4Return the squid to the pot and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Once coated with the sauce, transfer to serving bowls and sprinkle with grated yuzu rind and kinome leaf buds.

If you boil taro after removing the slime, the seasonings will soak in easily and the dish will have a clean flavor.
Squid will toughen if cooked too much, so add it at the end and only simmer briefly.
