When it comes to emergency food, it is common to have food for long-term storage such as dry bread and rice. However, there are also disadvantages such as "it is difficult to grasp the expiration date because it is stowed away" and "it is dull when actually eaten".

In recent years, attention has been focused on the method of solving such problems, which is the concept of "rolling stock method" to prepare while eating. By storing a large amount of foods that you are accustomed to eating, eating them regularly (once or twice a month), and buying more, you can always stockpile new emergency foods.

The rolling stock method has the advantage that even foods with a best-by date of about one year, such as retort and freeze-dried foods, can be easily used as emergency foods, but if you eat them regularly, delicious foods are good, right? This time, I paid attention to the freeze-dried foods of rumor that they have made remarkable progress recently!


The author visited the "Amano Freeze Dry Station Tokyo Store" in the commercial facility "KITTE" near JR Tokyo Station. Amano Foods' antenna shop is familiar with freeze-dried foods such as miso soup and soup.


It's about the size of a shop at a station, but there is a lineup of miso soup, curry, stew, risotto, and rice bowl ingredients that you don't usually see at supermarkets. There are also store-limited items, so you can take a closer look from end to end. By the way, you can also add hot water to the purchased products on the spot.



In addition to the miso soup that I usually drink, I bought some curry and rice bowls that I was interested in. In each case, just pouring hot water revived the thickening and texture of the ingredients, and it was delicious without any complaints.




The shop-only "Crab Miso Soup" (540 yen) is a luxurious miso soup with plenty of crab meat. The price is a little high, but it may be a motivation to eat regularly.


Freeze-dried is not only easy to store, but it is also easy to eat positively because the color, aroma, flavor and nutritional value are less likely to be impaired compared to the state after cooking. By the way, the company also has a "Rolling Stock Box" that is packed with products for rolling stock, and you can also purchase it at the online shop.


For your reference, the Cabinet Office's "Disaster Prevention Information Page" introduces "ingenuity and preparation for a week" including the Rolling Stock Law. How about considering it for Disaster Prevention Day? * All listed prices include tax
