"[Delicious Yellowtail 🥣 Miso and Fish 🐠 Powder]

What’s something you expect to see at nearly all Japanese restaurants? That’s right, Miso Soup, and fish. Miso is such a fundamental part of Japanese cuisine for its long history in Japan, its strong health 💪 benefits, and the fact that it is just plain delicious! Fish is also an integral part of Japanese culture. Why? Throughout Japanese ⛩️ history, there was a time when fishing was the only way to get food! Furthermore, the Japanese people liked fish as it could be kept for longer periods of time.

So, why not celebrate two of Japan’s finest cultural products - Miso Powder, or Yellowtail Fish powder! Both of them are made with a delicious blend of Toyama’s own mountains and the sea - using bonito 💪, kelp, shiitake mushrooms, and yellowtail sourced right from Toyama bay. Both powders mix in broth to make for a refined, incredible taste 😋! Purchase these products and many more at HIS @ Tanjong Pagar to pick up some goods from the Heart of Japan, Toyama!"

"[Seafood snacks 🌊 right from Toyama Bay!]

Now, we move to seafood products straight from Toyama Bay! 🙌 On the northern shores of Japan lies one of the largest bays in the country, and is very well known for beautiful scenes in the winter ❄️, as well as its place as a breeding ground for the Firefly Squid (that’s coming to you too!) Of course there’s plenty of other famous seafood in Toyama Bay like we’ve introduced previously, but let’s introduce two highlights to you right now!

Beginning with Tempura, this product was made with white shrimp 🦐 from Toyama Bay, and is often times called the “Jewel of Toyama Bay"" due to its beautiful, clear, pink color. Rarely caught outside of Toyama, fisherman take great care to ensure that all their catches are sustainably caught and farmed.

Next, we have an old favourite from last year, Hotaru Ika, or firefly 🦑 squid! These incredibly firefly squid are caught just off the coast, pickled with raw materials from Toyama and marinated in soy sauce before being flash-frozen to ensure maximum deliciousness!

"[Traditional ⛩️ Japanese Crackers!]

These delicious crackers are sure to leave you wanting more! Both of these products are called, ""arare"" - a type of bit-sized Japanese cracker typically flavoured with soy sauce!

Our first offering is the White Shrimp Arare Cracker! Made from 100% domestic paddy rice 🍚, these soft, delicious rice crackers are from Toyama Bay and are completely natural.

"[Snacks for 🍽️ all season!]

Snacks. Who doesn’t love ❤️ them? Whether you need a quick snack after work, something to munch on during a movie, or just want to satisfy an angry stomach - a snack 😋 does the job perfectly. Japan is no stranger to delicious snacks, and these two were going to introduce to you - well we think they’re amongst the best!

[Delicious 😋 Miso and Caramel Sauce!]

Beans 🫘. They have so, so many uses! In Japan, they are incredibly popular too - used in a ton of dishes from Miso soup and Natto, to delicious sauces that turn a dish from a 10 to a 100. Two wonderful products that we are introducing today have beans as one of the star attractions! First, a clear and clean ✨ tasting all-natural miso.

The soybeans used in this Miso come directly from Toyama prefecture, and have been brewed by skilled miso craftsmen to create a mild finish and an overall delicious taste. Use it in miso soup, stir-fry 🍲, and any dishes that could use a bit of miso! Second - we’ve got a wonderful caramel sauce, also made locally! This sauce combines local soybeans with melted sugar 🍧 and cream to make an absolutely addictive taste. Try it with ice cream, bread, yoghurt, anything that needs a punch of sweetness 🍯!

[Coffee ☕ and Dessert 🫘, a sweet pair!]

Here’s a couple of fun statistics for you! Did you know, about 2 billion cups of coffee are drank everyday? A huge amount of people need a cup of coffee to help them get through the day, with some people needing up to 5 cups a day! It’s no surprise that getting the highest-quality coffee is important for that daily boost! With that in mind, our next two introductions are sure to make the caffeine-lovers amongst us satisfied, both in drink, and in food.

First, Nel Drip Iced Coffee. This coffee is made with beans washed and soaked in Kurobe’s famous water - ideal for coffee due to its low magnesium content. While the process takes a lot of time and effort, the kurobe water enhances the coffee to reveal a clear, refined taste unlike anything you’ve ever had before.

Next, for our desert lovers, we have Coffee Yokan! (Azuki Bean Jelly) Made with a base and malt syrup produced by traditional means, the process is painstakingly long, but rewarding in taste and aroma. Trust us when we say you will love the rich coffee flavor and natural flavour. Purchase these products and many more at HIS @ Tanjong Pagar to pick up some goods from the Heart of Japan, Toyama!
