Celebrating Two Years of TSUKE MOZUKU with Exciting Collaborations and Recipes

A New Era for Mozuku: Celebrating TSUKE MOZUKU's Second Anniversary

In an exciting development for culinary enthusiasts, Yama Chuo Food Industry Co., Ltd., led by President Masakazu Nomura, is commemorating the second anniversary of their innovative product, TSUKE MOZUKU, which features Okinawa-produced mozuku seaweed. Beginning on July 25, 2025, the company will launch a collaboration with popular gourmet restaurants to introduce a series of unique recipes. This initiative aims to transform the perception of mozuku from a mere side dish to a versatile ingredient to enjoy in various culinary forms.

Project Overview

Centered around the theme "Double the Enjoyment with TSUKE MOZUKU," these collaborative recipes invite home cooks to experience the delightful versatility of mozuku through the lens of two innovative restaurants:
1. Nakano Tong - A bistro and skewer specialty shop known for its delicious vegetable-wrapped skewers.
2. Kitasenju Fuji - A restaurant famed for its creative fusion cuisine blending Japanese, Chinese, and Italian influences.

Both establishments have developed their original recipes that not only showcase the distinct characteristics of TSUKE MOZUKU but also embrace ease of preparation in home kitchens.
