Kamaboko-

Excellent traditional Japanese health food we boast about to the world

Kamaboko is one of the more traditional Japanese foods that is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. It first appears in an ancient document written as far back as in 1115, as a celebratory dish for aristocrats. Kamaboko is made by steaming/poaching or grilling seasoned fish paste. Although food made from fish paste such as fish balls and seafood sticks is eaten all over the world, Japanese kamaboko, by far, excels in taste and quality. Moreover, kamaboko is high in protein yet low in calories and fat, and contains plenty of beneficial calcium from fish. It is healthy food created with the wisdom of the Japanese and undeniably we can boast about it to the world.
Daitora Kamaboko was established in 1876 at Namba, Osaka. Using a kind of premium fish, fresh sea eel, kamaboko is made with traditional methods by skilled professionals. In Osaka, deep-fried fish paste is called “Tempura” ? by deep-frying, the rich taste of fish paste is contained within and different tastes can be enjoyed by adding various other ingredients to the paste. We sincerely hope that more and more visitors from overseas will enjoy our kamaboko, which is part of the Japanese dietary culture.
