This year is also the season for new rice that rice lovers have been waiting for. If you want to eat a lot of rice more deliciously, you must have a "rice companion", right?


Therefore, this time, we researched recommended rice companions at the select shop "Kusefuku Shoten" that focuses on Japanese gourmet food. We would like to introduce 3 items that we asked the staff!


■ "Eat, dashi soy sauce" 580 yen (excluding tax, the same applies below)


A dish that combines domestic soybeans and domestic rice jiuqu and carefully soaks it in a special raw soy sauce brewery from Nagano's long-established soy sauce brewery, and adds the flavor of flower bonito dashi from Yaizu, Shizuoka prefecture. Since it contains bean mash that has been aged and aged, it has an image that is more like miso, unlike liquid soup stock soy sauce.


The mellow umami that spreads at the same time as the soybeans crumble is a combination of the wisdom of Japanese cuisine. It's delicious when you mix it with omelet rice or mayonnaise to make grilled rice balls!



■ "Eat, sukiyaki" 580 yen


Next is "Eat, Sukiyaki," which expresses the "sukiyaki-style taste that has been left to rest overnight" with the soy sauce that Kuzefuku is proud of. It's a popular item that sells out soon after it arrives (I was the last one ...).

The sweet and spicy sauce, green onions, Chinese cabbage, meat-flavored pieces (no meat is actually included) and the texture are just lively! For example, it feels like sukiyaki is boiled down after eating . It is recommended for lunch boxes and rice balls as the rice goes on in a small amount.



■ "Tsukudani of red pepper" 580 yen


The last is personally recommended "Tsukudani of red pepper".


All the peppers are packed tightly. It has a good balance of tingling spiciness and soy sauce, mirin, and dashi sauce, and the expression "spicy" is appropriate. Anyway, it's addictive, and you'll want to eat not only rice but also ramen, dumplings, pasta, cold tofu, etc., so it's gone in no time.


The rice that goes on and on is a great gift along with the new rice. There are plenty of products that you can sample at the store, so please try to find your favorite taste!
