Kombu-maki Kamaboko (Seaweed-wrapped Fish Cake)
When sliced, the black kelp elegantly wraps around the white fish cake. The savory umami of the kamaboko is layered with the briny aroma of the sea from the kelp—this rolled fish cake is a dish that embodies the essence of Fukui in both appearance and taste. It is said to have originated from using kelp to wrap the fish instead of traditional wooden boards. The history is rooted in the Edo period, when kelp transported by Kitamaebune ships became easily accessible. Tsuruga flourished as a port for these ships, making it a land where food cultures from various regions converged. The umami of the kelp gently permeates the entire fish cake. Due to its beautiful appearance, it is said that it was once used as an offering for the imperial court. Kelp (kombu), which shares a phonetic connection with the word 'yorokobu' (to be happy), is considered a symbol of good fortune. This flavorful fish cake has long graced celebratory occasions in Fukui.
