They are the sea squirt, called "Hoya" in Japanese.

ah! I see! I suppose they are used to add flavour to soups and stocks.
No, I didn't have a chance to taste it.

Thanks JAPANeyes529! :)

Well, wash them and cut into two, then peel the skin to take all the organs out.
Slice them to eat with sause(Soy sause+Wasabi, or Rice vinegar), or grill, or cook in a pan with butter+a bit of soy sause....etc.
Or eat as Sushi*

Sounds good!
Any seafood sauteed with butter and garlic is yum!
