◆ We have sampled limited items
LINKS UMEDA is located at 1-1 of Onukamachi, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, a 2-minute walk from JR Osaka Station.


LINKS UMEDA is a large commercial facility that opens on November 16, 2019 (Saturday), and is attached to Yodobashi Umeda Tower.



This time is a special preview before opening. The tasting is not a LINKS UMEDA store, but it is going to be held at `` Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka '' on the high floor of Yodobashi Umeda Tower, so I came here



Go through the lobby ...



Arrived at the tasting venue.



In addition to the table, materials etc. are prepared ...



'Freeze-dried Takumi hot pot nabeyaki udon with shrimp tempura' and 'Usually miso soup natural fugu' were on standby.



First of all, 'Freeze-dried Takumi Hot Pot Nabeyaki Udon with Shrimp Tempura'. Comes in a simple blue package.



Open immediately.



Inside there was a description of how to make it. This time, pour hot water and eat as it is, but if you pour hot water and heat it in a microwave oven 500W for 30 seconds, it will be even more delicious.



Freeze-dried udon is about the size of a 144mm iPhone 11 Pro. It is about the same size as frozen udon and udon in aluminum cups.



Here is the udon that came out of the bag. I can see only noodles and eggs ...



The bottom is full of ingredients. Pour the hot water upside down so that the bottom is up.



Just pour hot water and stir lightly for about 60 seconds. In the movie below, hot water is poured and freeze drying changes to udon.

I tried to make `` Freeze-dried Takumi Nabe Ebi Tempura Nabeyaki Udon '' that can make nabeyaki udon in 1 minute-YouTube


Complete by loosening the noodles. The fragrance of the bonito stock drifts and inspires the appetite.



Udon has a firmness, and each one has a presence. In order to leave the smooth texture of the udon, it is said that repeated trials and errors have been made on the types and boiled noodles, and

Inaniwa udon, which is a local dish in the southern part of Akita Prefecture, is characterized by thin noodles.



From the following movie, you can check the texture of the udon noodles that do not break even if you hold them with chopsticks. It is quite thin and reminiscent of

cold wheat .

The noodles of `` Freeze-dried Takumi Nabe Ebi Tempura Nabeyaki Udon '' were so firm that I could not think it was freeze-dried-YouTube


Ingredients include beef, fried chicken, eggs, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, crab-style kamaboshi, in addition to shrimp tempura.



The shrimp use

black tiger , and it has a stuffy texture that makes you feel like eating. It was impressive that the shrimp's tail was softer than ordinary shrimp and shrimp fry. The moist clothing made from soup has no oily smell and is refreshing.



Beef seasoned with soy sauce and sweet and spicy is not hard and has a texture that unwinds in the mouth. The umami of the meat gradually spreads in the mouth as it bites.



I wondered if the vegetables were very hot, and the crunchy texture of the hot water remained, so I don't think it was hot water. It is surprising that the texture of each ingredient, such as meat, shrimp, and vegetables, has not been impaired.



The soup is Kansai-style with bonito stock based and seasoned with soy sauce and mirin. It seems that the soup color became Kansai-style soup because the color of the udon itself can be maintained if the soup color is lighter.



According to

Masato Shimamura, who was in charge of the development, even the same Inaniwa udon was not suitable for freeze-drying depending on the manufacturing method and materials. As a result of trial and error, he arrived at a rather high-class Inaniwa udon.



Freeze-dried foods are made by drying frozen foods under vacuum, but foods with a lot of oil and starch such as tempura and udon are not suitable for freeze-drying. Thanks to the technology and effort of freeze-drying manufacturing method cultivated by Amano Foods for many years, tempura and udon were successfully freeze-dried after a two-year development period. Nabeyaki udon with shrimp tempura is a crystal of Amano Foods' technology and ingenuity.



The next drink, 'Normal miso soup natural fugu' is Amano Foods' first local product. A questionnaire on Amano Foods' SNS for ingredients familiar to Osaka was that Fugu was selected.



We use domestic white sabafugu and it is a little luxurious miso soup.



Before pouring hot water, it looks like a solid block. Freeze-drying such as miso soup is usually done by making miso soup, putting it in a tray one by one, freezing it for more than 8 hours, and then putting it in a special dryer to drain water for more than 24 hours.



If you pour hot water as shown in the movie below, the ingredients will spread out and the miso soup will be completed immediately.

Stir lightly to complete.



There were about 3 slices of big blowfish. The tightly-closed body is filled with umami and bites to eat. It is said that it was the first attempt to handle natural blowfish in freeze-drying, and various proposals such as the use of high-grade blowfish were considered, but he eventually settled on non-toxic white blowfish.



Ingredients include Chinese cabbage, green onions, carrots, and mizuna in addition to blowfish. Chinese cabbage is crisp and fresh, while carrots have a sweet and soft texture.



The seafood stock is dissolved in the slightly sweet miso, and you can feel the deep umami in the light taste. The finish was unlikely to be miso soup made instantly.



◆ I went to Amano Freeze Dry Station
The 'Amano Freeze Dry Station', which handles the above two products, will open on Saturday, November 16, 2019 on the first basement floor of LINKS UMEDA. So I actually went to the shop before opening.



At the store, there was a “Freeze-dried Takumi Nabeyaki Udon with Shrimp Tempura” sampled earlier.



It's a freeze-dried full of Amano Foods technology, so it's a must-try. The price is 1350 yen including tax and sales at LINKS UMEDA store are limited to 200 meals, so be careful.



'Usually miso soup natural fugu' is also available for a limited time.



For 345 yen including tax, the LINKS UMEDA store will be available for purchase from November 16 (Sat) and other stores from November 23 (Sat).



In addition to the limited edition products, the Amano Freeze-Dry Station offers more than 100 kinds of freeze-dried foods for a better overview.



Besides miso soup ...



Curry freeze-drying, such as the “

Curry in the Field ” series…



There was also freeze drying of pasta such as '

Mitsuhoshi Kitchen Eggplant and Tomato Cream Pasta '.



They sold not only single dishes such as miso soup and pasta but also spices such as '

freeze-dried radish .'



They also sold original mugs.



Freeze-dried foods make it easy to make small meals and reduce cooking time, so they are useful for living alone or working together. Because of its long shelf life, it can be used as an emergency preservation food and can be said to be a processed food that meets the needs of modern society. The Amano Freeze-Dry Station, which has a large selection of freeze-dried foods, is a place where you can store preserved foods while having fun.
