■ A New Flavor Packed with Japan's 'Ramen Culture'
'Kakitane Airport Limited Tonkotsu Ramen Flavor' is Kakitane Kitchen's first-ever flavor themed around 'ramen'. With the increasing number of inbound foreign tourists, the company wanted them to take home an 'authentic Japanese taste' as a souvenir. This desire led them to focus on 'ramen', a Japanese dish that boasts high popularity overseas, alongside sushi. In particular, they have recreated the highly attention-grabbing 'tonkotsu ramen' in their kakitane crackers.
What they aimed for was the rich depth and creamy umami characteristic of tonkotsu ramen. Based on the flavor of a rich tonkotsu soup, they added a hint of spice to create a balance that isn't too heavy and makes you want to reach for the next cracker.
Furthermore, pickled ginger-flavored peanuts are combined as an accent. The refreshing acidity added to the rich tonkotsu umami achieves a deliciousness you won't tire of until the very end.
Because of its rich taste, it pairs perfectly with a crisp, refreshing beer. Strong green tea is also recommended as a combination that allows you to feel even more of a Japanese essence.
The crackers come in bite-sized, individually wrapped packages that are easy to share. It is an airport-exclusive flavor perfect not only as a souvenir from an overseas trip but also as a gift from a business trip.
