Along with delivering our products at their peak freshness, reducing waste is an important priority at Kokoro Care Packages. Sometimes this means waiting for a new batch of seasonal products from our local farmers and producers, while also doing our best to always only order what we need.
Fu (wheat gluten) is a chewy substance similar to dried bread and is what remains after the starch has been removed from wheat. Aburafu (deep fried fu) is made by shaping the wheat gluten into a long, baguette-like loaf, then deep frying it until crispy. With little taste of its own, aburafu absorbs the flavors of the sauces and seasonings it's paired with.
Yamagataya Shōten produces their Sendai Fu in Miyagi Prefecture. The fu gets its name from Sendai which is the capital city of Miyagi Prefecture and has been certified as both vegan and halal for the many Muslims who live in Miyagi.
Japan is a seafood lover’s culinary paradise. There is a little something for everyone. One such delight is roe, fish eggs, that can be found as toppings on sushi, a paste to nibble or spread on toast, a stuffing for onigiri, mixed with pasta sauce, and for many other things.
Perhaps the best-known types of roe in Japan are tarako and mentaiko, but what are they and what is the difference? How are they the same?
