Since the cooking time is short, the stress of eating habits in the event of a disaster will be reduced. I tried the emergency food "freeze-dried rice" sold by Nagatanien.

Instant rice that can be cooked faster than the mainstream "pregelatinized rice" as a disaster prevention emergency food. Not only can you rehydrate in 3 minutes with hot water and 5 minutes with water, but you can also eat without reconstitution. The lineup of flavors includes "fried rice flavor", "takikomi gohan", and "pilaf flavor". When I tried eating the "fried rice flavor" as it was, the crispy, light texture and gentle saltiness reminded me of rice crackers for babies. Let's add water here to seal it and put it back.





After 5 minutes, when you open the seal, the dry rice sucks water and looks plump. When you bring your nose closer, it certainly has a fried rice-like scent. The seasoning is more like "porridge" than "fried rice". At first, I was confused because of the lack of stickiness and crunchiness that are typical of rice, but the slightly spreading onion and egg flavors and the unique fluffy texture made it possible to eat deliciously. The taste is not too strong, so it is also attractive that you can eat without taking too much drink.



It is available at mail-order sites and general stores, and the price range is around 500 yen per bag. As well as disaster prevention goods, it is also useful for outdoor activities such as hiking and camping, so why not stockpile some bags?
