Kamaboko tourist in Odawara

by nuppe Online Now Dec 18, 2006 at 7:31 AM

I'm actually going to Odawara the 30.th of December to buy kamaboko. Is there a nice place to stay in Odawara or should I go to Hakone? Is there a place to eat kamaboko as well? Is the fishing port active?

    Ummmmmm, you can buy good Kamaboko just about anywhere in Japan. Unless of course, you are looking for a particular brand, type, etc. What does make you so interested in Kamaboko??? :D It usually plays a side role, and never a main character in dishes. I'm sure Kamaboko appreciate your great interest and attention!! :))

    You are probably right, but I think the Odawara type belonges to the popular ones with a history. I wanted to focus on that in my writing, and I wanted to visit the museum. But it seems a little difficult right now. Well... first I think that food as a subject is interesting: food culture, history etc. A lot of people do that now. But no one pays very much attention to phenomenons like kamaboko, surimi, crabsticks - even though its a part of many peoples live. I have decided that I will be the one to pay that attention. This includes the globalisation and the relation between Odawara kamaboko and crabsticks in Seattle.
