Amanohashidate Kuro-chikuwa (Black Chikuwa)
It looks like a slightly blackened fish cake. That very color is the mark of deliciousness for Miyazu's famous Kuro-chikuwa. The secret to the color lies in blue fish such as horse mackerel and sardines caught in Miyazu Bay. By removing the heads and organs and processing them into surimi without bleaching, the dough naturally takes on a dark tint. Its specialty is a flavor packed with the umami of blue fish, much like a boneless grilled fish. When kneaded using traditional stone mills while carefully managing the heat, it creates a bouncy texture that bursts the moment you bite into it. It is a local soul food so beloved that it even appears in school lunches. Taking a big bite of a freshly grilled one while gazing out at Amanohashidate will surely bring a smile to your face with its briny aroma and springy texture.
