Details
Misuzu Corporation's Ajishimi Kizami Age is a dried, pre-seasoned fried tofu strip made by Misuzu Corporation, a long-established tofu and soy food producer based in Nagano Prefecture. Thinly sliced aburaage is dried and then deeply infused with a dashi-based seasoning of katsuobushi bonito extract, kombu kelp extract, soy sauce, and sugar — producing a ready-to-use ingredient that brings the characteristic sweet-savoury flavour of Japanese seasoned tofu directly to the dish without any additional preparation. Because it is dried rather than refrigerated, it keeps at room temperature and can be used straight from the bag without soaking or cooking. Add directly to kitsune udon broth, scatter over soba, mix into onigiri rice with salt-pickled kombu, stir through kiriboshi daikon, or use as a flavourful addition to seasoned rice and scattered sushi. A convenient and genuinely useful pantry ingredient for everyday Japanese home cooking.
