Gourd strip Ajitsuke Kanpyo

Product detailed description

Ajitsuke Kanpyō (Pre-Seasoned Kanpyō) takes the work out of preparing this traditional Japanese ingredient. Made from the sun-dried strips of the Yugao gourd, this product has been expertly cooked and seasoned in a rich amakara (sweet and savory) marinade using soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.

This convenience product allows you to bypass the hours of soaking, massaging, and simmering required for raw Kanpyō. Simply open the pack, drain any excess liquid, and use the soft, beautifully flavored strips immediately as a filling for your sushi rolls or as a savory addition to your bento box. Enjoy the authentic taste of Kanpyō-maki without the fuss!

Suggested Use

• Kanpyō-maki: Use directly as the central filling for simple, traditional thin sushi rolls.

• Futomaki: Combine with other ingredients (egg, cucumber, spinach) in large, thick sushi rolls.

• Chirashi Sushi: Chop and sprinkle over a bowl of chirashi (scattered sushi rice) for added flavor and texture.

• Bento Box: Cut into short lengths and add as a nutritious, sweet-savory side dish.
