In Japan, sea bream (鯛魚) symbolizes good fortune and is an essential component for celebratory occasions. Established in 1885, the century-old brand "Hayashikyuemon" features its signature product, "Kokikogashi Soup" (可喜可賀湯), which consists of a cute sea bream-shaped rice cake filled with a powdered broth made from the highest quality dried bonito flakes (柴魚片). Just adding hot water allows you to enjoy a genuine clear soup, making it a truly unique dish. The dried bonito flakes are crafted using traditional techniques that have been passed down for over six months to complete, and each rice cake is handmade. There are also a variety of flavors available, including sea bream, scallop, pufferfish, and matsutake mushrooms. The "Kokikogashi Soup," which is entertaining to see and delicious to taste, is also very reasonably priced, making it a potential savior for those who struggle with gift choices.
