Description
Yamada Hikiwari Natto in Tube 300g is a foodservice-size Japanese fermented soya bean product designed for professional kitchens, sushi restaurants, catering businesses and other commercial food preparation.
Packed in a convenient piping-bag-style tube, this hikiwari natto can be portioned directly onto sushi rice and other dishes without having to handle the sticky natto by hand. This makes it particularly practical for preparing natto maki and other sushi rolls efficiently in busy professional kitchens.
Made from large soybeans selected for their rich umami, the beans are split to create the smaller texture associated with hikiwari natto. The result is a rich, savoury flavour with a mild and mellow aroma.
Hakata salt is already added for seasoning, so the natto can be used as it is or combined with additional sauces and ingredients depending on the dish.
