The "extremely rich" umami, aged for a week by craftsmen. Intense stickiness that steals your rice, and deep richness!
[Extremely Rich] "Secret Tare" simmered in a pot by craftsmen. Richly aged Matsumae Pickles.
Matsumae pickles are a local dish that originated in the Matsumae region of Hokkaido, known as the "Matsumae Domain" during its history. Hakodate's long-established restaurant "Kenpachi" has poured its traditional manufacturing methods and passion into this 'Dried Squid Matsumae Pickles', meticulously crafted with time and effort. It boasts a "rich and deeply flavorful" finish that sets it apart and will impress even connoisseurs of shiokara.
[The Secret to Uncompromising Deliciousness]
■ "Two-Type Soy Sauce Tare" Made Exclusively by Craftsmen
A unique blend of carefully selected dark soy sauce and white soy sauce. By simmering it in a large pot with craftsmen constantly attending, we create our own special soy sauce tare that is smooth, mellow, and deeply flavorful.
■ "Unity" Achieved by Resting for One Week
Dried squid (made in Japan), domestic kelp, and luxurious pollock roe (loose roe) are generously combined and aged at low temperatures for one week. Craftsmen hand-mix it daily, and by resting it carefully over time, the ingredients become completely unified with the tare, sublimating into a surprisingly rich and refined umami.
■ "Intense Stickiness" That Steals Your Rice
By intentionally using a larger proportion of kelp, we have brought out a thick, strong stickiness. One bite fills your mouth with the rich umami of dried squid and kelp. It is perfect not only with freshly cooked rice but also as a "luxurious chazuke" with dashi broth poured over it, or as a special accompaniment to alcoholic beverages.
[Hakodate Kenpachi's Commitment]
With the belief of "bringing the taste of Hakodate to more people," our craftsmen meticulously select only the finest ingredients, ensuring no compromises. We cherish the warmth of traditional handcrafting, and strive for a safe, secure, and gentle flavor that allows you to savor the natural taste of the ingredients, using as few chemical seasonings and synthetic preservatives as possible.
