I tried to google it but all the answers are in Japanese. Is it a mushroom, or a yam or what? Thank you.

Fish cake. Look for it in the frozen food section. I’ve found it in all the Asian grocery stores, even the ones that don’t stock many Japanese items.

This is what my AI app says: Kamaboko is made from processed fish paste, shaped into loaves or various forms, and then steamed, grilled, or fried. There are a few varieties, including red and white kamaboko (used for celebrations) and other types like chikuwa (a tube-shaped variety).
Basic Ingredients:
1. White fish (e.g., pollock, cod, or other low-fat white fish) 2. Salt – enhances flavor and helps the fish paste firm up 3. Sugar – adds a hint of sweetness 4. Mirin – a sweet rice wine that adds flavor 5. Egg whites – to bind and lighten the texture 6. Cornstarch or potato starch – provides structure 7. MSG or dashi stock (optional) – for umami enhancement

Kamaboko. They never give you enough. Easily found in any asian supermarket, even comes on a little piece of wood. Very similar to the fake crab sticks, or even gefilte fish.
