What is grain kon?

Konjac is attracting attention because it is rich in dietary fiber and calcium, and is very low in calories.
When this "konjac" is made into granules, it is called "granular konjac."
So, is it a nickname that's an abbreviation of "tsubu konnyaku" (granular konjac)? If you ask me that, it's not quite that.
"Grained Konjac" maintains the texture and shape that is lost when konjac is frozen and thawed, and also reduces the odor that is characteristic of konjac, making it suitable for a variety of cooking processes, including sweets. It is available in a wide range of sizes.
That's "Tsubu Kon" (granular konjac).
Frozen foods, which can be eaten easily, have become an indispensable food for busy modern people.
On the other hand, it is often avoided by health-conscious people because it is high in fat and carbohydrates, lacks dietary fiber and calcium, which are said to be lacking in modern people, and is high in calories.
In such cases, you can cut out calories and carbohydrates and supplement the nutrients that are said to be lacking in modern people. Konjac also has the advantage of being filling, so it can be used as a diet food or for menus with dietary restrictions.

Mr. Kobayashi, Quality Control Manager

Interviewer (hereinafter): What are the good points and other details?

Reasons for choosing me

I would like to hear your thoughts.

Kobayashi-san (hereinafter K):

Konjac that will not harden even when frozen in the desired shape

I was looking for something like that, and then I had the opportunity to contact you, so I asked you to do the job.

As a result of trial and error,

It has been adopted for commercialization.


1: What are the manufacturing processes for "Konnyaku Takoyaki" that are different from other products?

K: The day before production, I wash the konjac in water to season it, then put it in the soup stock and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes after boiling.

The konjac adds a nice flavor, making it even more delicious.

Also, "Konnyaku Takoyaki" contains both octopus and konnyaku.

It has a good texture and is very popular.

Also, the konjac used is so large and substantial that it's difficult to wrap, but as a result, the takoyaki are a size larger than other takoyaki.

It's filling and feels like a good deal.

As marine resources become more expensive,

I think another benefit of using konjac is that it has a stable price.
