I tried Yayoiken's "Sichuan Mapo Tofu and Karaage Set Meal". You can adjust it to the "ideal spiciness" with the pepper and chili oil that come with it.

The price is 890 yen (tax included). Rice, soup, fried chicken, and mapo tofu are brought on the table.


Mapo tofu has a rich and deep spiciness with spices such as star anise and Chinese pepper soaked in miso and soy sauce, and umami-rich douchi. The amount of minced meat is small, and the sauce is plentiful in a pot like soup.


You can add bottled pepper and chili oil to this to further customize the taste.

Sichuan cuisine is known for combining two types of pungent flavors with different characteristics. "Marway", which has a tingling tongue such as Chinese pepper, and "Raway", which has a tingling tongue such as red pepper. Balance is important. The taste is different depending on the shop, and each customer's taste is different, but the idea is to try to arrange it yourself.



First of all, if you look at the taste with nothing applied, it already has a moderate spiciness. The pungent taste of red pepper is already enough. On the other hand, the hemp taste of Sichuan pepper is not so strong, so I will focus on that.


If you shake it for a while, then shake it, and then shake it, you will find the refreshing scent and tingling sensation that is typical of Sichuan cuisine, which has already been sprinkled with Chinese pepper. However, since it's a big deal, I'll continue to play, pretend, pretend, and pretend. The surface of bright red dishes has been filled with spice powder. Add some chili oil to balance it here.




When I finally eat it, it feels like the spiciness goes through as expected. However, it's not so spicy that the tongue is torn off, but rather spicy. I intended to shake it quite boldly, but it looks like it's still going well. However, my body is also burning, and if I can't eat it because it's really spicy, I'll fall over, so I'm fine with adjusting the taste.


Next is fried chicken. Mapo tofu is freshly made in a soup style, so it is added to supplement the side dishes. You can eat them separately, but I decided to add fried chicken to the mapo tofu sauce that had been spicy to my liking. When I grabbed it, the crispy batter had a slight mala taste and it was quite Otsu. Rice also goes on.





Mapo tofu is also suitable for tasting with rice, so it is extremely difficult to put up with a refill. It was a sin-making menu like Yayoiken.
