It is on sale at the company's mail order site and food supermarket Oisix CRAZY for VEGGY Atre Kichijoji store (Musashino City, Tokyo).

This product is a fried minced pork seasoned with red wine and nutmeg. The batter is crispy and fragrant, and you certainly don't feel the oiliness and stickiness peculiar to fried foods. The inside has firmer elasticity and chewyness than the meat-only minced meat. This is a new texture ...!

More than half of them are soybeans, but they don't feel like beans or dry. However, the seasoning of the minced meat itself is light, so it is recommended to eat it with sauce or ketchup.

Next, I will try "Half Meat Off Fried Chicken (Original Scented Soy Sauce)". The store price is 278 yen for 3 pieces (about 100g (3.53oz)), and the mail order price is 180g (6.35oz) (frozen) 500 yen. We also prepared freezing, so please warm it in the microwave.

Deep-fried chicken breast with soybeans, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. The chicken is cut into a size that is easy to mix with soybeans to give it a sense of unity.

The crispy fried chicken has a slight soy sauce flavor. This is also chewy. The clothes are thin, so you don't feel guilty about eating fried food! … It's just a personal impression. No oiliness remains in the mouth, so you can eat it refreshingly.

In addition, both menchi and fried chicken have mixed grains (quinoa and black rice) in the batter, and I enjoyed the accent of the bubble wrap texture.

In such a case, it seems that this half-meat-off series, which allows you to eat soybeans, will satisfy your fried food desire.
