Chicken dumplings with tomato and mozzarella cheese

The other day, I found something called "Chicken dumplings of tomato and mozzarella cheese" at Seijo Ishii's side dish corner. It's a new product that has been on sale since early June. The price is 499 yen (excluding tax) for 6 pieces.

At first glance, Shumai is like a fashionable Italian appetizer. It looked delicious so I tried it.


Large size with a diameter of about 5 cm. Top tomato, cheese and basil are topped.


When you chew the minced chicken filling, it loosens softly and spreads the taste of the meat. "Marinara sauce" using tomatoes and spices is used for seasoning, and it has a slightly Western-style taste. The sourness of juicy tomatoes goes well with the refreshing flavors of milky mozzarella cheese and basil.


However, you can also feel the taste of dashi stock such as soy sauce and shiitake mushrooms, and it is a category that fits in the frame as shumai. Although it is a combination of different colors, it is finished in a delicious taste that does not make you feel uncomfortable.

You can warm it, but the sweetness of the tomatoes is strong and delicious even when it is cold. The filling is also tightly packed and looks like putty, which is a taste that you want to use as a snack for wine. When you buy it, please try two ways to eat it.
