According to today's Taste of Home feature in the Daily Yomiuri, kabocha is traditionally eaten on the day of the winter solstice.
The sweet orange squash was all over the place when I visited Kamakura today. First I enjoyed it in croquette form; the New Quick store at the Kamakura JR station sold crispy battered patties with a center of freshly-pureed kabocha and onion. Then the kabocha made an appearance in my bowl of tempura don... the vegetable was soft and almost caramel-sweet under its layer of light batter. Finally, on the way to see the Hase Kannon temple, I found a store which exclusively sold kabocha fudge!
