Charm of "Midnight Black Sesame Tantan Giblets Stew"
① The "Tantan-style" richness & punch elevates the giblets' fat into "umami."
"Midnight Black Sesame Tantan Giblets Stew" is seasoned in a tantan style, generously using sesame to create a richness that pairs well with alcohol. Unlike common soy sauce-based giblets stews, the rich tantan soup emulsifies the giblets' fat, integrating them. By having the soup's richness absorb the giblets' characteristic heavy fat, a strong-style flavor is achieved that doesn't lose to robust alcoholic beverages such as shochu and sake.
