Products DNA
Tsukudani is a Nishikyo pickle that pursues the idea of Sakamoto, such as white miso from Kyono Ishino, rare pure domestic whole soy sauce, and pure rice sake with a very high amino acid content. All the ingredients are hand-cut by craftsmen, and by soaking them for at least 48 hours, the taste of the fish is brought out firmly.
The direct fire kettle manufacturing method that has been handed down on Awaji Island for a long time requires specialized craftsmen, and it takes time and effort and cannot be mass-produced. Nevertheless, the reason why they are particular about this manufacturing method is the vivid cooking and the depth of the taste by the high-heated open flame.
Dulse is called “sea parsley” and has been used for food and medicinal purposes in Ireland and Canada for a long time. It is still popular as a valuable foodstuff containing abundant nutrients as well as a raw material for supplements. On the other hand, the supply volume of overseas dulse has not kept up with the demand, and the distribution volume in Japan is extremely small.
Focusing on the abundant nutrients of dulse, Sakamoto realized the first stable supply of Hokkaido dulse in Japan and succeeded in commercializing it at an appropriate price. By making dulse more familiar, they support a healthy diet every day. Dulse has characteristic nutritional components such as containing vitamin B12, which is not considered to be contained in land plants.
