Japanese food specialist Yutaka has launched a range of frozen noodles in the UK, as it aims to offer consumers the chance to create an authentic Japanese restaurant experience at home.
With modern freezing technology, the firm said it is able to preserve the original taste and texture of the noodles as if they were straight from the pot.
Three new products have been introduced. Frozen shoyu ramen with soy sauce soup has a “recognisable taste” and provides a basis for consumers to add their own ingredients.
A frozen miso ramen with miso soup features an authentic miso soup base and is sold with noodles and soup sachets.
Finally, frozen Japanese udon noodles from Kano are a thicker type of noodles that are a meal in themselves and suitable for use in soups and stir-fries. Yutaka said pure spring water together with artisan wheat flour is used to make the noodles.
The frozen noodles are suitable for vegetarians and can be prepared in two minutes.
Yutaka sells a range of rice products, sushi kits, miso sauces and seasonings. In 2016, the company introduced wasabi-coated peas in the UK.
