I tried Lawson's "Sesame-Scented Komatsuna Namul Salad". This dish combines soft komatsuna with a variety of ingredients of different textures and colors. It contains 62 kcal, 1.8g (0.28oz) protein, 4.6g (0.21oz) fat, 1.4g (0.14oz) sugar, 3.9g (0.32oz) dietary fiber, and 1.13g (0.46oz) salt equivalent.

Lawson Komatsuna Namul Salad with Sesami

Komatsuna, carrots, kiriboshi-daikon, and kikurage are seasoned with salt sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth. The dish is colorfully finished with a broiled egg.


When you open the lid, you can already smell the aroma of sesame oil. The volume is just right for one person to eat in one sitting. The bright colors of yellow, green, and red can be enjoyed even when transferred from the package to a small plate.


The komatsuna is softly cooked and easy on the tongue, and the sesame oil and broth are well blended. The crunchy texture of kikurage and the subtle flavor of kiriboshi-daikon (dried strips of radish) combine to create a complex eating experience. The fluffy texture of the broiled egg also helps to make this dish a little like a high-class appetizer.


It has a refreshing aftertaste and is not too salty, but the sesame flavor makes it a good accompaniment to rice, beer, or chu-hai. It is a perfect dish for when you want to spice up your lunch or dinner.
