Osaka Ohsho's Grand Prize-Winning Meat Shumai

Osaka Ohsho's frozen meat shumai, aptly named "Osaka Ohsho Tarezuki Niku Shumai", has recently clinched the Grand Prize at the prestigious Japan Food Selection, organized by the Japan Food Analyst Association. This accolade emphasizes the product's exceptional taste, convenience, and overall quality.

Rising Popularity of Shumai

In the market for frozen Asian cuisine, shumai stands as a robust competitor right after gyoza, showcasing significant growth in recent years. The emergence of specialized shumai shops and the increasing variety of frozen shumai in retail settings underline the surging demand for this delightful dish, particularly as a side to meals.

Recognizing this trend, Eat And Foods, based in Tokyo, started offering frozen shumai in September 2020. The company's vision, crystallized as "Exciting the Future through Food", aims to provide diverse culinary experiences that introduce joy and colorful moments to consumers’ lives. They stand as a "Food Life Planning Company", committed to enhancing various dining occasions with their delicious offerings.

A Grand Prize-Worthy Concept

The concept of the "Osaka Ohsho Tarezuki Niku Shumai" centers around the idea of being a juicy, large meat shumai that pairs perfectly with rice, complete with its own sauce and mustard. The incorporation of homemade burnt miso and aromatic green onion oil has resulted in a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from competitors. Feedback from the recent food selection judging highlighted the substantial bite-size, the deep flavor stemming from the burnt miso, and the juicy texture derived from premium domestic pork and chicken.

Additionally, the inclusion of bamboo shoots adds a pleasing crunch to every bite, enhancing the overall experience. The product has also been noted for retaining its steamed dish qualities even when prepared in a microwave, showcasing the brand's deep culinary expertise.
