🐙🌶️ LS OCTOPUS CHANJA (350g)
⭐ The Addictive Korean Seafood Delicacy Loved by Costco Japan Shoppers!
Discover Octopus Chanja (タコチャンジャ), the beloved spicy, fermented seafood side dish that has become a viral sensation among Japanese shoppers at Costco. Made with plump, chewy octopus marinated in a potent Korean yangnyeom (seasoning paste), this Chanja is the perfect balance of intense umami, sweetness, and satisfying heat.
It's the ultimate fridge staple for when you need a flavor boost!
🌟 Why Chanja is Your New Favorite Side Dish
1. Addictive Chewy Texture (コリコリ & プリプリ)
Forget soft, mushy seafood. This Chanja is prized for its firm, pliable, and slightly crunchy texture that makes every bite satisfying. The octopus pieces are cut large enough to give you a substantial, flavorful chew.
2. Umami-Packed & Versatile Spice
The seasoning is complex, built on chili powder, garlic, and fermented anchovy sauce (a key umami booster). It’s spicy, but balanced—enough to give you a kick without overwhelming your palate.
3. The Perfect Size & Storage
Portion: The 350g jar is perfect for stocking your fridge. A little goes a long way, making it an excellent, long-lasting flavor bomb.
Storage Tip: This product is refrigerated (10°C or below). If you can't finish it quickly, it can be frozen in small, airtight portions (best used for cooking after freezing, as the texture may slightly change).
💡 Quick Bites & Fusion Meal Hacks
Chanja is a great snack, but it truly shines when mixed into other foods.

Why It Works |
| Cream Cheese Chanja |
Chop the Chanja roughly and mix it with cubes of plain cream cheese. |
Our #1 Tip! The creaminess of the cheese neutralizes the spice and creates an amazing izakaya-style appetizer. Serve on crackers! |
| Chanja Chazuke |
Spoon Chanja over hot rice, top with chopped nori, and pour hot dashi (broth) or green tea over it. |
The savory seafood flavor melts into the broth for a perfect, spicy late-night meal (shime). |
| Natto/Avocado Bowl |
Mix Chanja with natto (fermented beans) and diced avocado, then serve over rice or toast. |
A power-packed, savory, and spicy Korean-Japanese-Western fusion breakfast or lunch. |
| Noodle Topping |
Use a spoonful to top plain ramen, udon, or even Italian-style oil-based pasta for a spicy seafood twist. |

🌐 What Shoppers Are Saying
"This Chanja is incredibly flavorful and the octopus pieces are huge! It’s dangerously delicious—I can eat three bowls of rice with this stuff alone."
"The texture is fantastic. Much better than the common pollock version. It's the perfect beer snack."
"If it's too spicy for you, just drizzle a little sesame oil on top. It instantly smooths out the heat and adds a layer of nutty richness."
