Fukumen
On the plate, there is white and pink minced fish, green onions, and orange mandarin peels. It is a gorgeous dish, decorated in various colors like a spring meadow. In truth, hidden beneath these colors are thinly sliced konnyaku, completely covered by the minced fish. This is 'Fukumen,' a celebratory dish passed down in Uwajima. Sweetened minced white fish is piled high atop konnyaku noodles and garnished with various seasonings. It is said that it came to be called 'Fukumen' (which means 'mask') because the toppings completely cover the konnyaku, hiding it from view. It is also said that the four colors represent the four seasons, and the dish has long been used to brightly decorate celebratory occasions such as weddings and longevity celebrations.
