Family Mart Squid Shichimi Yaki

A dish that uses the seven flavors of the "Yawataya Isogoro" brand from Nagano Prefecture. Doubanjiang, a Chinese seasoning, is also used as a secret ingredient to make it spicy. The package is packed tightly, and if you want to make a serving, we recommend a medium plate or a large plate. If you put it in a small bowl, it seems that you can do it for 2 to 4 people.


When you pick it up with chopsticks and carry it to your mouth, it has elasticity and a crisp texture. The more you chew, the more savory flavor of Shichimi spreads, and you can feel the umami of Doubanjiang. The spiciness is mild and gives the impression that you will want to eat one after another.


On the other hand, the saltiness is stronger. The saltiness remains in the aftertaste, so I miss dry sake or freshly cooked white rice. You can also enjoy it with hot Japanese tea that has been added to a strong taste.
