Chikuwa is a Japanese fish cake made from surimi (white fish paste) that is seasoned, wrapped around a bamboo or metal stick, and then grilled or steamed until firm and slightly browned. Its name means “bamboo ring,” reflecting its tube-like shape. Chikuwa has a chewy, slightly bouncy texture and is used in dishes like oden, stir-fries, salads, or simply served with soy sauce or wasabi mayo as a snack. Popular across Japan for its affordability and versatility, it’s often found in bento boxes and supermarkets.
