I went to Kanetetsu Delica Foods' Tecchan Kobo, a facility where you can experience handmade chikuwa and kamaboko. There was no guard or anything, so I parked in the customer parking lot. The mascot character "Tecchan" is so cute. The company was founded in March 1926, and Tecchan was born there. It seems to be 1951 (Showa 26). Reservations are required for the handmade experience, which is held three times a day. Experience time: 10:00~, 12:00~, 14:30~ At 12:00, we thought we were the only ones there, but the number suddenly increased, so we might be able to make a reservation on the same day. You can also just shop at the shop. There are also many tastings. I ate all kinds. It's time for the handmade experience, so I put on a net hat and go up to the second floor. In addition to us, 2 children (2 accompanying people) also participated, making the total of 6 people. Visitors can enter for only 100 yen. Experience it alone, The other person could have been in charge of photography. The entire table is a cutting board. In front of me is a piece of ground pollock and a sharp knife. The pollock surimi is easy to make as it is already laid out in a nice shape. Steam for 20 minutes, then make chikuwa. The ingredients are the same as kamaboko. Chikuwa was a little more difficult. It's easy to say, but kamaboko is more fun. Even though the chikuwa are baked at the same time, there is a difference in how well they are cooked. When it starts to swell, it will burn if you don't poke it with a needle like Tsurugi. Only mine turned black, so I had to make another one in a hurry. After the handmade experience, we listened to the history of kamaboko in a picture-story show style. Kamaboko has a history of 900 years and is said to have originated in Kobe. It is said that there is a stone monument commemorating the birthplace of kamaboko in Ikuta-no-Mori within the precincts of Ikuta Shrine. In honor of the year 1115 when kamaboko was born, November 15th every year is ``Kamaboko Day.'' Chikuwa has a longer history, but in the past, chikuwa was called ``Kamaboko.'' This is because it resembles the ``kamahoko'' that you sometimes see on the roadside. I went down to the shop on the first floor and bought some freshly grilled tempura while waiting for it to be cooked. Corn butter tempura (210 yen) Kujo green onion tempura (210 yen) Cheese ball fry (500 yen) Freshly fried, the tempura is fluffy and soft. Here, instead of beer...I received Tecchan Ramune (210 yen). They brought me lots of freshly fried samples (lol) I'm already full. The vegetable tempura was really delicious. We also received freshly steamed kamaboko made by the instructor. The kamaboko is fluffy and extremely delicious. Freshly made kamaboko It's the first time I ate it. Our work has also been completed. It doesn't contain any preservatives, so the expiration date is today. The store is full of Tecchan goods, and you'll want them. "Tecchan's Song" was playing all the time and I couldn't get it out of my head. I chilled the kamaboko and ate it the next day, and it was still fluffy even after it was cold. It has a smooth, smooth texture, and feels like high-quality kamaboko. Chikuwa was average. Even though the ingredients were the same, the steamed one was more delicious.

I've always liked kamaboko and chikuwa, but I started liking them even more after eating them freshly made and eating things that weren't sold locally. I have participated in the experience several times and have had a great time each time. The Kanetetsu series sold at the supermarket is also delicious, but the freshly made ones are so delicious that you end up eating way too much. My personal favorite is the tempura with Kujo green onions that is fried on the spot. Most of the things I took home were crab, octopus tempura, and vegetable tempura. Also, the beef tendon meat was delicious. I don't want to spoil the fun by writing too much, so I'll refrain from going into details. I decided to give 5 stars for the content of the experience, the deliciousness, the good customer service of the employees, and their personality.

I had some errands nearby and happened to see a sign for a direct sales store and went in! Some items were cheaper at the supermarket, but there were some sale items that were cheaper. I also got a sample of the freshly fried tempura, which was on sale and cheap, so I ate it right after I bought it, and it was piping hot and extremely delicious (^-^) The lady working at the store was also very nice and I was happy. A few groups came down after me as they were able to try their hand at making things with their own hands. I want to eat freshly fried tempura next time I'm in the area!

(Translated by Google) It is always fun to make kamaboko and chikuwa. There are seasonal events, so it's fun no matter how many times you go (Original) いつも楽しくかまぼこやちくわを作れます。季節のイベントもあるので、何回行っても楽しいですよ🎵

(Translated by Google) I experienced making Chikuwa. I struggled a little, but I was able to do it well. I still want to make a lot of different. (Original) ちくわ作りを体験しました。少し苦戦しましたが、楽しく上手に出来ました。 まだまだ、沢山色々作って見たいです。

It's nice to be able to experience kamaboko making, but other than that, there was only souvenir sales, and there wasn't much to see, so I was disappointed.I wish there was an exhibition of the history and materials of the past. Ta

(Translated by Google) We experienced Chikuwa and Kamaboko handmade in a 2 course. In a course of about 90 minutes, make kamaboko first and later make chikuwa. Kamaboko can be shaped as I like, and I made it “fish”. Chikuwa is a little difficult, and even adults may have trouble. However, the person in charge of the staff kindly taught me, so it was completed safely. It takes about 60 minutes to make and about 30 minutes to bake. No preservatives are used for both items, so you must eat them that day. Also, since it is delivered freshly, you do not need a cold pack. Eat Chikuwa on the way home and go home and eat kamaboko. I went by train to the site. It is about 1 km from the island center and can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot. I think it was an interesting experience. (Original) 2品コースのちくわ・かまぼこ手作りを体験しました。約90分のコースで、かまぼこを先に作り、後でちくわを作ります。かまぼこは自分の好きな形にすることができ、私は「魚」にしました。ちくわは少し難しく、大人でも手こずるかも。でも、係員の人が優しく教えてくれたので、無事完成。作るのに60分、焼くのに30分程度です。 2品とも保存料は使われていないので、その日に食べる必要があります。また、アツアツ出来たてで渡されるので、保冷パックはいりません。帰りながらちくわを食べ、家に帰ってから、かまぼこを食べるのもいいかも。 現地までは電車で行きました。アイランドセンターから約1キロあり、徒歩15分程度で行けます。 面白い体験をしたと思います。

楽しくかまぼことちくわづくり体験ができました。教えてくださる職人さん？も丁寧に優しく教えてくださいました。「また行きたい」と体験した子どもが言っています。

There is a kamaboko making experience. You can concentrate so much that you forget about time. I thought it would be easy, but there are some parts that are quite difficult. The store will fix it for you, so you can experience it with peace of mind.

2022/8/21 When I was cycling to Rokko Island, I found it on Google Maps and entered the museum just before it closed. (I can't take pictures of the inside of the building or the products) There is a toilet on the first floor (quite clean). The shop is small but has an easy-to-enter atmosphere. A variety of products are sold in a small store. (There are also Tecchan goods. The character Tecchan is unique, but somehow has a nostalgic atmosphere and is cute.) Cheese ball fries (5 pieces) 300 yen Purchase. Once you purchase it, it will be fried on the spot, so you can eat it freshly fried. (Currently, the eat-in space is not available due to the coronavirus. Disposable chopsticks will be provided.) Is the diameter about 2cm? It's quite elastic. Is there cream cheese inside? It's packed full of food and is very filling. It might be good as a snack while walking around, a side dish with alcohol, or as a side dish. There were also various other items such as 3 pieces of freshly fried tempura (about 500 yen). Even at the last minute of closing time, customers kept coming in, buying large quantities of tempura and having it fried for them. It's nice to be able to eat freshly fried food. I might visit again when I visit Rokko Island

I went to experience making kamaboko and chikuwa 🎵 Super fun and freshly baked kamaboko and chikuwa It was absolutely delicious! ️ I bought a lot of souvenirs at the merchandise corner and was very satisfied. It was a day ♥️

“Tecchan, Tecchan, Tecchan~♪” The Kanetetsu factory is familiar to Kansai people. You can experience making chikuwa and kamaboko during the so-called factory tour. Although reservations are required and there is a fee, I think it is a very good experience for children. Of course, you can take home the chikuwa and kamaboko you made, so your child can enjoy the chikuwa and kamaboko they made at home. Even adults can enjoy it and realize, "Hey, this is how it's made."

Visited with 2 adults. I experienced making kamaboko and chikuwa. Even adults had a lot of fun. was delicious~ I'm giving it 4 stars because I would like to see more interesting goods and adult size T-shirts.

You can try your hand at making chikuwa and kamaboko. It's a little difficult, but the staff will teach you carefully and kindly, so it's okay! Chikuwa is delicious, but I personally found kamaboko to be really delicious🤤

(Translated by Google) I wandered around on a motorcycle touring. I bought almost crab (kanikama) and cider, and ate them on the outside bench. People in the car bought and ate fried products at the workshop. Next time, let's go to the end of the year at the end of the year. (Original) バイクのツーリングで、ぶらっといきました。ほぼかに(カニかま)とサイダー買って、外のベンチで食べました。車の人は、工房で、揚げる商品買って食べられてました。今度は、年末の御歳暮時期に、ぶらっと行こうかな。
