Roman Traditional Carbonara
About 'Roman Traditional Carbonara' offered by 'Kamatama Carbo Trepici'
In Japan, carbonara is widely popular, with the mainstream style featuring a rich and mellow flavor using fresh cream or milk. It is characterized by the richness of cheese and a creamy texture, establishing the image of 'carbonara = cream sauce.'
In contrast, authentic carbonara in Rome, Italy, is a simple dish made only with egg, cheese, the umami of pork, and black pepper. It does not use fresh cream, creating a rich yet sharp and powerful flavor through the inherent power of the ingredients themselves.
Our 'Roman Traditional Carbonara' cherishes this authentic Roman cooking philosophy, carefully prepared with the best ingredients available in Japan.
