SEASONED GOURD STRIPS
Ajitsuke Kanpyo (味付干瓢), or Seasoned Gourd Strips, is a traditional and indispensable ingredient in Japanese cuisine, famously used to create the classic Kanpyo-Maki sushi roll. Kanpyo is derived from the flesh of the calabash gourd, which is thinly sliced, dried, and then meticulously simmered in a special Sweet and Savory broth based on soy sauce and sugar (often with mirin/sake). This two-step process—drying and then slow-cooking—transforms the gourd into soft, long strips with a satisfying Soft, Fibrous, and Slightly Chewy Texture. Its distinct sweet and savory profile provides a perfect contrast to the acidic sushi rice, creating a balanced and comforting flavor profile prized in authentic Japanese sushi.
Our Ready-to-Use Seasoned Gourd Strips eliminate the time-consuming process of rehydrating and slow-simmering the dried Kanpyo, offering a significant convenience boost for professional sushi chefs and catering services. Beyond its primary use as a Sushi Roll Filling (especially in Futomaki and Hosomaki), Kanpyo strips are also traditionally used as edible "twists" to tie up savory packages like Kombu-Maki or Chakin-Zushi. Furthermore, it can be added to simmered dishes (Nimono) or enjoyed simply as a chilled, healthy side dish due to its richness in dietary fiber. Our product is vacuum-sealed and chilled, ensuring maximum safety and freshness, making it a reliable, high-quality ingredient for any establishment aiming to deliver authentic Japanese flavors efficiently.
