Set of 5 dried vegetables

Recommended Dried Vegetable Set for Those Who Can't Decide

Because they are long-lasting, these vegetables retain their freshness and can be enjoyed anytime. Since they are harvested fresh, they offer the delicious taste of just-picked vegetables. Dried vegetables, with their unique flavors, aromas, and textures, are a "new delicacy from the farm." While dried vegetables are a traditional Japanese preserved food, drying not only enhances their umami and nutrients but also reveals their hidden charms that might go unnoticed in fresh vegetables.

From such dried vegetables, OYAOYA has selected and assembled a recommended set. Please use it for yourself or as a gift for friends.

How to Use Dried Vegetables

Dried vegetables are long-lasting preserved food, so you don't have to worry about freshness. Seasonal vegetables that are usually limited can be enjoyed for a long season as dried vegetables. Also, OYAOYA's dried vegetables do not use glucose, etc., so depending on the dish, rehydration in water or hot water may not be necessary. When making soups or takikomi gohan, just adding them will create a rich vegetable broth.

Dried Vegetable Set Contents

In the northern Kyoto Prefecture area, where OYAOYA's vegetables are produced, there are many professional farmers who are committed to cultivating vegetables, from sustainable soil preparation using local materials to cultivation methods. In their hands, not only high-end vegetables like Kyo-yasai used in traditional Japanese restaurants, but even everyday staple vegetables for home cooking become incredibly delicious. We have carefully selected such vegetables for this set.

This is recommended for those who are new to dried vegetables and want to try them out. We have selected vegetables that can be used in cooking or eaten as is.

Dried Kujo Leek 

There is almost no spiciness characteristic of leeks, and you can enjoy the sweet umami unique to Kujo leeks as you chew. When heated, it becomes soft, and you can enjoy a corn-like flavor that is not found in fresh Kujo leeks.
