This handmade-style fish cake from Hakodate, Hokkaido, features generous pieces of octopus blended into seasoned fish paste, offering a pleasantly firm texture and natural seafood sweetness. The “chigiri” style refers to its rustic, hand-formed appearance, giving each piece a hearty bite and artisanal character. Carefully prepared to highlight the flavour of the octopus, it delivers an authentic taste of coastal Hokkaido.

 

Simply heat and serve, or use as a versatile ingredient in soups, noodle dishes, oden, simmered dishes, and hot pot. An easy way to enjoy the comforting flavours of Hakodate at home.
