Awa Odori Take-Chikuwa
Simply grab both ends of the bamboo and take a bite. The savory umami of the fish and the faint scent of bamboo spread throughout your mouth. A squeeze of sudachi citrus makes it even more refreshing. This bamboo chikuwa is a quintessential symbol of summer in Tokushima. It is said to have originated as a fisherman's meal in Komatsushima, where local fishermen would turn freshly caught small fish into paste, wrap them around bamboo, and grill them. Legend also tells of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who landed in Komatsushima during the Battle of Yashima, requesting the very same bamboo chikuwa that the fishermen were eating. Grilling it while wrapped in bamboo preserves the appearance of that rustic fisherman's dish to this day. Delicious whether eaten raw or lightly seared, its flavor is capable of taking center stage. It is a Tokushima specialty that makes you want to grab one in each hand and feast amidst the heat of the Awa Odori festival.
