Japanese port giving some Eskimos a kayak (5)
I believe the answer is:
osaka
'japanese port' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some eskimos a kayak' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'OSAKA' can be found hidden inside 'eskimos a kayak'.
'giving' is the link.
(Other definitions for osaka that I've seen before include "Place" , "Japanese port city" , "Large city and port in Japan" , "Japanese port, on Honshu" , "in east Asia" .)
