Ebichiku of Niihama
With a single bite, you experience the springy texture of the chikuwa followed by the gentle aroma of toasted shrimp. The savory umami of the kneaded shrimp gradually releases with every chew. This 'Ebichiku' (shrimp chikuwa) from Niihama is packed with the bounties of the Seto Inland Sea. Niihama is a thriving fishing town where surimi products, traditionally called 'tempura' here, have been deeply rooted in daily life since ancient times. These processed seafood products, made by mixing fresh fish paste with lively shrimp, offer a flavor unique to this seaside town. Enjoy it as a snack on its own, as an accompaniment to alcohol, or lightly toasted to elevate the flavor. This single stick allows you to enjoy the full, fragrant aroma of the sea.
