Keima Kamaboko is a store on Onomichi Hondori, a short walk from JR Onomichi Station. Kamaboko is a unique Japanese food made by steaming a paste of white fish such as cod or sea bream.

Moment of Joy

The most popular item at Keima Kamaboko is the “Ishijo,” a pack of five of the store’s signature dishes, including kamaboko and chikuwa. Among them, the Komayaki kamaboko, which is shaped like a shogi (Japanese chess) game piece and the store’s namesake, is a gem that is hand-baked by skilled craftsmen one-by-one every day. You can enjoy the elegant sweetness of the white fish itself in this kamaboko. In addition to the standard kamaboko products, there are also many limited-time kamaboko products available for the spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons.
