Japan's tourist destinations, Kyoto included, are visited by many inbound tourists. Not only tourists from East Asia but visitors with various food cultures from Europe, America, India, and the Middle East come. However, vegetarian accommodation in Japan is not sufficient, and voices of dissatisfaction exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a survey we conducted ourselves, there was also an opinion from an Indian visitor that \"it's hard to eat at restaurants because vegetarian labeling and ingredient information are unclear.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using vegetable dashi makes it possible to develop menus and serve dishes that accommodate vegetarians while preserving the goodness of Japanese culture. Dashi dried tomato can, of course, be cold-brewed or decocted like konbu or shiitake, and can also be steeped in miso to make a vegetable miso that draws out tomato's umami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The raw material uses large-fruited tomatoes grown in Kyoto, and because they have not just sweetness but acidity too, using them as dashi can deepen the flavor of a dish. In tests conducted with general users, tomato dashi \u2014 with a hidden sweetness sleeping within the sweetness \u2014 becomes an accent in dishes, active not only in soups like miso soup but even in sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, because it processes the \"tomato ends\" \u2014 usually discarded during processing \u2014 by upcycling them, it also leads to reducing food loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Product overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Product name: Vegetable-dashi dried tomato<\/p>\n\n\n\n Product page:https:\/\/oyaoya-kyoto.com\/products\/tomato-dashi<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\u30c9\u30e9\u30a4\u30c8\u30de\u30c8\"](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/studio-cms-assets\/projects\/9YWyw1reqM\/s-2400x1600_v-frms_webp_d15afaac-c670-4d7e-8afd-6ea231ed247a.jpg\")
