PRODUCER’S VOICE

Temari sushi was originally made for geisha in Kyoto, so that they could eat sushi without opening their mouths too widely; you can even say that it is a type of traditional Japanese party finger food. Mishima Foods, located in Nagata, Osaka Prefecture, supplies frozen temari sushi to various places. They are frozen by using a special food processing technology called proton freezing. The frozen temari sushi can be sold not only in Japan but also overseas because the sushi can be thawed at room temperature while maintaining its original freshness and taste. Mishima Foods also developed vegan (dishes using only vegetable food materials ) temari sushi for future sales in overseas markets. I hope to impress people with the From KYOTO brand by topping vegan temari sushi with additive-free Kyo pickles, a specialty of Kyoto, and sharing the story of the origin of temari sushi. I will introduce frozen temari sushi as Japanese party finger food with the unique story and quality in Singapore where the food service industry, catering and party culture have taken root.
