Cumulative Shipments Exceed 600,000 Units! With the Arrival of Spring Outing Season, Usage Examples of Disposable Burner Lighter "Aburishi" Released. "Easy One-Step Arrangement" Makes Outdoor Dining More Enjoyable Just by Searing.

Lightec Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takuro Hirota), a manufacturer and seller of smoking accessories including lighters, announced that cumulative shipments of its disposable burner lighter "Aburishi" exceeded 600,000 units in March 2026. Concurrently, the company is releasing simple arrangement methods and usage examples to make outdoor dining more enjoyable for the upcoming spring cherry blossom viewing season.

"Seared Arrangements" to Enjoy Outdoors

While cooking environments outdoors are limited, simple ingenuity can expand the range of experiences. One such method is "searing" cooking, which lightly browns the surface of ingredients. Searing removes excess oil, concentrates umami, and creates a savory aroma and fragrance on the surface. Ingredients containing oil release their oil from the surface, enhancing their aroma and deepening their flavor.

Furthermore, even cold ingredients can be enjoyed with a change in flavor, so we hope that "Aburishi" can be utilized as an easy arrangement method for outdoor scenes, and we are releasing examples.

Usage Examples: Easy One-Step Arrangements with Familiar Ingredients

Cherry Blossom Viewing / Picnics

Even ingredients easily purchased at convenience stores and supermarkets can be transformed into a special flavor with a little searing. For example, salmon fillets become crispy on the skin, enhancing their savory flavor and umami. Spam musubi becomes nicely browned and more fragrant on the surface. Sanshoku Dango (three-color dumplings) also become softer by lightly searing their surface.

Light Outdoor Activities / Camping

By searing cooked meat, fish, or vegetables to create grill marks, you can easily add a finishing touch. Lightly searing cheese adds a melted texture and a savory aroma, making it enjoyable as a snack.
