Umami compounds, particularly glutamate, naturally add body, depth and mellowness to dishes. Umami does more than intensify taste: it also highlights the flavours of the ingredients and brings balance to the dish as a whole.\u003cbr\u003eAdded to fish or meat, it brings out their natural sweetness and flavour and creates a more harmonious balance of flavours when they are grilled or simmered. Peptides from fermentation also give dishes depth.\u003cbr\u003eSake kasu also contains trace amounts of alcohol and organic acids, which reduce the smell of fish and meat. The alcohol removes odour-causing compounds, the organic acids balance the taste, and the umami compounds bring everything together, allowing the ingredients’ flavours to shine.\u003cbr\u003eSake kasu is a much-loved fermented food that lets ingredients take centre stage: an ‘unsung supporting actor’ that completes a dish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCulinary effect: tenderising and helping flavours penetrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother distinctive feature is its ability to tenderise ingredients while infusing them with flavour throughout.\u003cbr\u003eThe enzymes, amino acids and organic acids in sake kasu act gently on the proteins in meat and fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NAKAFUSA FOODS","offers":[{"title":"5 kg","offer_id":54571555422541,"sku":"NISSNAK5","price":599.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/SNAK5.webp?v=1790148323","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/powdered-daiginjo-sake-lees","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
