After visiting the desired restaurant, I thought to myself, since I'm already in Iwanai, is there anything else interesting around here? I stumbled upon a fish cake shop and was intrigued by something called a kamaboko burger. I found it, there was only one left! In addition to that, there were various kinds of fish cakes in the showcase. I was also drawn to the edamame fish cake, but besides the burger, I bought some vacuum-packed fish cakes that have a longer shelf life. If you have a few hours before getting home, they will put it in a cool bag for you as a service. As for the kamaboko burger... well, it tasted just like you'd imagine, with the patty being made of fish cake. It's refreshing, so it might be good for breakfast. The other vacuum-packed fish cakes were enjoyed as a snack with alcohol, and they were all delicious, but personally, I really liked the dried fish cake. Thank you for the meal!

At the beginning of this year, in February I think, I searched for souvenirs when I visited Iwanai and found this long-established kamaboko shop founded in Meiji 32. Although they are not operating now due to the impact of the coronavirus, I was able to eat in at that time and bought two items that caught my interest. I got the "Fish Rocque" (200 yen including tax), which is kamaboko with cheese inside, fried like a croquette. The melty cheese was extremely delicious. I also tried the "Kamaboko Burger" (480 yen including tax), which is only available on weekends and holidays. The fish rocque in this hamburger has cheddar cheese! The buns were baked by Bakery Sunrise and were fluffy. The combination with tartar sauce was also excellent, making it a delicious hamburger. The service was provided by a young female manager, I believe, who was beautiful, cheerful, and lovely. I bought several souvenirs and reheated them at home to eat, and they were all really delicious! I will definitely go back to buy more. Thank you, Yoshida-san!

I spent the night at a campsite and had breakfast before going, so I couldn't eat a lot, but I tried some kamaboko with camembert cheese and shrimp-filled kamaboko, each costing around 200 yen. They were very filling and satisfying. I enjoyed eating in at the place. If I had to say something, I should have stopped by before going camping!! For those heading to the campsite in Iwanai Town, I highly recommend stopping by this place! The campsite and hot springs in Iwanai Town were also very nice. I was too focused on eating to take photos (lol). The burgers were also very popular with the locals.

This is actually my second visit to the store. I happened to stop by last summer and found the food delicious with great value, so I became a fan. This time, I ordered the kamaboko burger (480 yen tax included) and 5 sticks of kamaboko (200 yen each). The kamaboko wrapped in Taramaru-kun's wrapping paper, coated in breadcrumbs, and sandwiched in a bun was so tasty! The aurora sauce was also a nice touch. And the kamaboko sticks were cheap and delicious! I've seen similar items sold in other places (in Eastern and Northern Hokkaido) for around 400 yen... For me, when it comes to Iwanai, it's all about Yoshida Kamaboko Shop... I always make sure to stop by when passing through. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by Kanetakichida Kamaboko in Iwanai because my mother was craving their kaku-yaki. It must bring back memories for her, growing up in Tomari village. They cost 480 yen each, so I got one for home (lol). Kaku-yaki is big, so it's a nice snack for the drive. I also added one "ageage," a local favorite, which is a bit small but has a crunchy outer skin that adds a nice touch as a snack. Thank you for the meal.

I visited on Saturday afternoon, but the kamaboko hamburger was sold out. I tried the kamaboko inside, and it was very delicious. I'm not sure when I can go next, but it seems like making a reservation is a must.
