Fried fish cakes from Kamaei, a kamaboko (fish cake) shop in Otaru. They are especially good fresh out of the fryer and are handy as a side dish. There are many varieties to compare, but as there is no individual packaging, they are better suited to home use than to handing out to a large group.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer recommends this flat fried fish cake from a long-established Otaru kamaboko maker as a gift for relatives and friends, tasty especially fresh and useful as a side dish, with many varieties. They warn there is no individually wrapped version, so it is unsuited to sharing at a large office.
