Obiten
Taking a bite of it freshly fried, it is soft and airy with a subtle sweetness. The savory flavor of the fish melts into the gentle sweetness of the brown sugar, creating an irresistible taste. Despite being a processed fish product, it has a charming quality similar to a snack. Obiten is a local tempura passed down in Obi, Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture. It is made by turning nearshore fish such as sardines and horse mackerel caught in the Hyuga-nada Sea into paste, mixing it with tofu, and seasoning it with miso and brown sugar before frying. It is said to have been beloved in this region since the era of the Obi Domain in the Edo period. Because it contains tofu, it is fluffier and softer than Satsuma-age (fried fish cakes). It remains delicious even when cold, whether eaten as is or with a little extra preparation. Please enjoy one as a companion to your stroll through the castle town of Obi.
