KALDI "Zunda Butter"

A new product "Zunda Butter" is now available at KALDI stores. I immediately bought it and tried it on bread, and it is so delicious...! And I found a way to make the taste even better, so let me introduce it to you!

Zunda

is a paste made from mashed edamame (green soybeans), and is a popular local delicacy in the Tohoku and northern Kanto areas of Japan. Zunda is a paste made from edamame (green soybeans) and is popular as a local delicacy in the Tohoku and northern Kanto areas of Japan.

Zunda butter is a cross between Zunda and butter. Hokkaido edamame (green soybeans) are used for the zunda.


When you scoop it up with a spoon, it is very soft and smooth! The paste is more like jam than butter. It is easy to spread on soft bread before baking as well as on baked bread.


When you spread Zunda butter on toast, you can taste the gentle flavor and aroma of edamame beans and the richness and flavor of butter in the melted sweetness. It is a perfect match for the crispy, savory bread! The texture of the crushed edamame also enhances the "zunda eating" feeling.

Recommended way to eat Zunda Butter

: Spreading a layer of

Zunda Butter

on cream cheese is also recommended! The slight sourness enhances the sweetness of the edamame and gives it a refreshing and crisp summery taste. It goes well with not only toasted bread, but also bagels and English muffins!


And an even better way to eat it... spread the zunda butter on the bread first, then grill it and eat it! This way, the edamame's crunchiness comes out more strongly, making it even more aromatic and delicious! If you like edamame, be sure to grill them with the zunda butter before eating them.
