Jakoten by Amo Chinmi: A Timeless Seafood Delicacy

Discover the rich history and flavors of Jakoten, a traditional delicacy crafted from the bounty of Setouchi's small fish. Made by blending whole small fish into a smooth paste and frying them to perfection, Jakoten offers a unique, savory taste with a satisfying texture.

Amo Chinmi, rooted in tradition since 1949, carries forward the legacy of its predecessor, Amo Chinmi Seafood Delicacies Factory. Established during the postwar reconstruction era, this factory thrived in a time of scarcity, transforming Setouchi’s abundant small fish into culinary treasures. From humble beginnings selling Ebi no Sensui-ni (sweet and spicy shrimp) from a handcart, the factory became a hub for master craftsmen, each honing their skills to create seafood delicacies of unmatched quality.

Today, Amo Chinmi continues this proud tradition, bringing you Jakoten that reflects decades of expertise and the rich flavors of Japan's coastal heritage. Whether enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or paired with your favorite drink, Jakoten is a taste of history you won't want to miss.
