When walking through a huge shopping arcade in the heart of Sendai city, I find a crowd consisted of not only the elderly, but also juveniles in front of a souvenir shop that specially deals in steamed fish pasts. One of the most famous souvenirs of the city is a steamed fish past, especially a particular kind of a fish paste called "Sasakama" in Japanese.
The word "Sasa" means a bamboo grass, so as you can image, the fish paste's shape looks just like it. Since the Sasakama is so famous around here, there are so many fish paste shops, but not so many that have a crowd in front. The Sasakama-shop I find is a little bit special, cause the shop has a stall selling a fried steamed-fish paste for 100 yen (just less than US$1). The crowd I find is a line of people waiting to buy it.
The fried fish paste is just like a "corn dog", but instead of a smoked sausage, they use a steamed fish paste (but not Sasakama-type) to coat in cornbread and fry. Of course, the shop offers a ketchup and mustard for us to dip.
The test?
I buy more than two. That's good.
Here is Sendai city, Japan
