Tofu Chikuwa
With just one bite, it is fluffy and melting. Despite being chikuwa, it has a gentle and light mouthfeel. The sweetness of the tofu and the umami of the white fish melt together softly. It is a soul food beloved by the people of Tottorio. As the name suggests, this is a specialty of Tottori made by steaming firm tofu and white fish surimi in an approximately 7:3 ratio. During the Edo period, because the development of fishing ports lagged in Tottori, fish was precious and rarely reached the mouths of commoners. A prominent theory suggests that it began when Ikeda Mitsunaka, who became the lord of the Tottori Domain in 1648, recommended, "Eat tofu instead of fish." The fact that soybeans were widely produced due to the mountainous terrain and that people were familiar with tofu also played a role. Whether for everyday dining or celebratory occasions, this is a soft specialty nurtured by the history of Tottori.
