[Staff comment]

The ginger pork is like real meat, and this sweet miso potato is a taste that all Japanese people really like!! The crunchy cucumber has a really fresh and clean taste, and the crunchy texture is GOOD!!

[Customer feedback]

Ms. A: Looks and tastes like ginger pork, but is actually much more delicious than meat!! It does not harden when cool, and the soft texture really brings out the flavour. When I made it, I thought, "Shouldn't the sake poured in before adding the seasoning be miso??" That would make the veggie meat softer and allow the seasoning liquid to soak in nicely, wouldn't it?

Ms. B: My children asked me to put the ginger pork in their school packed lunches every day! It's very simple and quick to make – and healthy, too. The children like the "soy meat".
