Itoman Kamaboko
Okinawa's kamaboko is slightly different from the steamed versions found on the mainland. The main style is 'age-kamaboko' (fried kamabлоко), where fish paste is fried until crispy. Itoman, the town of Uminchu, is said to be the birthplace of this Okinawa kamaboko. Since the Taisho era, shops have lined the markets, selling achiko-ko (freshly made and hot) kamaboko every morning. The rich flavor, with the concentrated umami of the fish paste, is an indispensable item for New Year's jubako dishes. The famous 'Bakudan'—onigiri wrapped in kamaboko—is also unique to Itoman. You can enjoy it as is, or add it to oden or stir-fries. Please enjoy this simple taste nurtured by this seaside town.
