Abe Kamaboko Main Store

Abe Kamaboko is famous for inventing the name Sasa Kamaboko, inspired by the "Sasa ni Suzume" (bamboo leaves and sparrow) family crest of Sendai's historical Date family. Renowned as Sendai's oldest and most trusted maker of kamaboko (steamed fish cakes), Abe Kamaboko is celebrated for its craftsmanship and quality. Using high-grade, white-fish surimi (fish paste), their products are beloved as a nutritious, low-fat, high-protein delicacy.

At Abe Kamaboko, the fish cakes are handmade by expert artisans who hold the rigorous national certification as specialists in seafood paste product processing. Meticulous attention to temperature control—from grinding to grilling—is key to preserving the flavor and ensuring a soft, fluffy texture. A recommended way to enjoy their signature Sasa Kamaboko is by lightly grilling its surface, enhancing both aroma and texture.

Their classic lineup includes plain Sasa Kamaboko as well as variations with shrimp, shiso, and cheese. Popular regular items also include Cheese Balls—steamed fish cakes filled with cream cheese—and deep-fried fish cakes mixed with seafood or vegetables. Additionally, Abe Kamaboko offers seasonal products tailored to events like Hinamatsuri (Girls' Festival) and Valentine's Day.
