Grilled to perfection, with a smoky aroma and a touch of salt that enhances its deep, rich yolk flavor.Kawachi Chicken
Surprisingly mild without the usual gamey taste of duck. Tender and juicy, with a texture similar to belly-side meat.Belly-Side Meat

Fresh Wheat Gluten
生麸
生麩是將小麥麵粉和水混合後洗去澱粉,再蒸製成的麵筋,它是一種富含蛋白質且低熱量的健康食材。據傳,生麩在日本室町時代從中國明朝傳入,當時只有在寺廟或宮廷中才能品嚐到。 Seitan is made by mixing wheat flour with water, washing away the starch, and then steaming it to create gluten. It is a healthy ingredient rich in protein and low in calories. According to tradition, seitan was introduced to Japan from the Ming dynasty of China during the Muromachi period and was originally consumed only in temples and royal courts. 생부는 밀가루를 물과 섞은 후 전분을 씻어내고 찌는 방식으로 만든 글루텐으로, 단백질이 풍부하고 저칼로리의 건강 식재료입니다. 전해지는 바에 따르면, 생부는 일본 무로마치 시대에 중국 명나라에서 전해졌으며, 당시에는 절이나 궁정에서만 맛볼 수 있었다고 합니다.
