Currently, Kamaboko is popular in four types: steamed, grilled, boiled, and fried. Each type brings unique and interesting flavors to diners. Kamaboko comes in a variety of shapes and colors, from the most basic type often used in traditional dishes like Udon, Ramen, and Soba, to red Kamaboko, which has a pink outer layer, and a white interior, and is cooked by steaming on a small piece of wood.
