also: こんぶまき
kombu roll; fish rolled in kombu
A traditional Japanese dish: sliced dried herring or other fish wrapped in kombu seaweed and simmered. Often served as osechi or a side dish.
I put kombu rolls in the New Year's dishes.
Kombu rolls are delicious when simmered in a sweet and savory sauce.
Standard spelling with okurigana.
Alternate reading こんぶまき, also used.
Variant without okurigana, also seen.
Compound of 昆布 (kombu, 'kelp') and 巻き (maki, 'roll'), from the verb 巻く (maku, 'to roll').
