Yamasa Kamaboko is a specialty shop. Founded in 1916, Yamasa Kamaboko has grown to become one of the largest Kamaboko manufacturers in western Japan. Their shop in Himeji offers a wide variety of with a variety of ingredients and flavors. It’s not easy to find a kamaboko specialty shop, so don’t miss out on this one.
The shop is more of a takeaway stand than a dine-in shop, so you can buy some items in the shop, and sit at the benches to consume them, before returning the wrappers to the shop. The fried kamaboko don’t actually have a crispy coating, so expect a soft, jelly-like texture, and the savory saltiness of seafood as you bite into these fried fish cakes. There’s some simple, yet addictive about the taste, and it’s easy to see why kamaboko are a popular ingredient in home cooking in Japan.

Yamasa Kamaboko's Unique Points (こだわり, Kodawari)

Yamasa Kamaboko prides itself on its commitment to quality, and the fact that even since becoming a major manufacturer that mass produces kamaboko, the taste and texture remains unchanged from the days that their kamaboko was handmade on a grill.
They use fresh spring water from the Yumesaki River (ゆめさきがわ, Yumesaki-gawa), which is located beside their factory, as well as salt from the Akko Coast (赤穂海岸, Akko-kaigan) that is made using traditional methods.
