Kamaboko has a very long history and it originated as a method for preserving fish. The bones, scales and internal organs are removed from fresh fish, which is then pureed to make "surimi" (fish paste). Salt and other seasonings are added to the surimi, the paste is kneaded to bring out its stickiness and then it is made into semi-cylindrical loaves and heated. This is known as "ita-kamaboko" and is the most common variety. Other varieties include the imitation crab "kapikama" used in California rolls, the spiral patterned "naruto," the pipe shaped "chikuwa," fried fish paste and the white and fluffy "hanpen" fish cakes.

Sugiyo, the innovator of Kanikama, launched Royal Carib, the second generation Kanikama, in 1990. Our continuous efforts in research and product development eventually led to the creation of our latest innovative product, Snow Leg Queen, or Kaori-bako in Japanese, in 2004, an exquisite replica of snow crab legs in flavor and texture. A prize from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries was awarded to Snow Leg Queen in 2005.
