Squid-flavored chocolate?

I recently learned that a Japanese confectioner, Sapporo Gourmet Foods, makes lamb-and-vegetable-flavored caramels. It also offers Sapporo-beer flavored candy. I'm no stranger to odd snacks and have fond memories of eating tiny candied crabs (yes, crabs, with shells)  that I bought at renowned snack emporium Aji Ichiban. So what really piqued my interest in this article was squid-flavored chocolate from Takuma Shokuhin. A cursory Web search pulled no results for the company. It did list an old blog entry for chocolate-covered shredded squid, which doesn't sound half bad, kinda salty and sweet. I'm pretty sure this is not the same thing as squid-flavored chocolate.

Before I trek out to Mitsuwa, has anyone ever had either of these strange treats or know where to get them in New York City?
