A squid that closely resembles the cuttlefish (Sumiika). It is about 15-18 cm long, excluding the legs, and has a dark body with white spots. Because the tip of the mantle exudes a brown secretion, the buttocks are more dyed, and it is called "shiriyaki". It extends its tentacles long when it catches prey.
The difference from the cuttlefish is that cuttlefish has spines at the tip of its back, but Shiryakeika has no spines.
It inhabits sandy mud bottoms and catches and eats crustaceans and small fish. Spawns on seaweed in the inner bay from April to May. When the water temperature drops, they move to deeper waters and return the following spring. It inhabits inland seas, and is often seen in Tokyo Bay and the Seto Inland Sea.

It was on display at the Enoshima Aquarium along with bigfin reef squid and lightning squid. It stretched its tentacles while swimming around in the tank. It looked a little more active than the other squid. I was able to observe the pattern on the body well because it was swimming slowly. At the Enoshima Aquarium, in addition to the squid tank, there are also many tanks that reproduce the state of the sea in Kanagawa.
