Deliciousness that overturns the image of plant-based and gluten-free

<Comment from Chef Honda>

We developed this pasta sauce with ZENB based on the concept of pursuing deliciousness that satisfies many people while being gluten-free and plant-based.The most important thing is to make the best use of the original taste of the ingredients.That's why I try to bring out the deliciousness and umami of the vegetables to the forefront without adding anything unnecessary. I think we were able to create a perfect pasta sauce that goes well with ZENB noodles, and is also delicious with wheat pasta.

After training at Italy's three-star restaurant "Antica Osteria del Ponte", he opened "Ristorante Honda" in 2004 and has earned a total of 15 stars.It has a good reputation for dishes that make use of the original characteristics of the ingredients according to the season.

Anhydrous tomato sauce

A tomato-based sauce where you can enjoy the deliciousness of ripe tomatoes.Using sweet and sour tomatoes with plenty of umami, it is an anhydrous method made only with the water of vegetables, so you can enjoy the deliciousness of vegetables in luxury.By adding a fresh taste of “mini tomatoes with whole skin” and adding basil and rock salt as secret ingredients, you can fully enjoy the refreshing taste of tomatoes.

Ingredients: Tomato puree (made in Italy), cherry tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil, sautéed onions, rock salt, garlic, basil

<Comment from Chef Honda>

I personally recommend it because you can taste the balance of sourness and sweetness of fresh tomatoes.It can also be used as a basic tomato sauce, and you can use this sauce as a base to make vongole or amatriciana, or you can simmer it with chicken or hamburgers.

Rich vegetable cream with mushrooms

A sauce where you can enjoy the taste of mushrooms and the creamy richness.We made it so that you can fully enjoy the deliciousness of "3 types of whole mushrooms" of eryngii mushrooms with a fun texture and umami-rich enoki mushrooms.The gentle sweetness and richness of the slowly sautéed onions and nuts are added to create a rich cream sauce.

Ingredients: Mushrooms (Eryngii mushrooms, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms) (domestic), sautéed onions, rice bran oil, almonds, miso (contains soybeans), sweet sake, cashew nuts, salt, garlic, pepper, brewed vinegar

<Comment from Chef Honda>

This time it was the most difficult to develop.Although it is plant-based, when I increased the amount of nuts to achieve smoothness and richness, the taste became less sharp.I went through trial and error, such as adding wine and lemon, but I couldn't reach a satisfactory sharpness.In the end, I was able to achieve the ideal sharpness by adding vinegar, and it became a delicious taste that is gentle on the body.

Veggie bolognese with flavored vegetables

A deep flavored sauce inspired by slow-simmered bolognese.By drawing out the deliciousness of herbs, spices, and flavored vegetables with oil, we have achieved a surprising richness that you wouldn't expect from vegetables alone. Using “whole mushrooms up to the axis”, the sweetness of carefully stir-fried potherbs is combined with tomatoes and white kidney beans, and red wine is added to create a fragrant and delicious taste.

Ingredients: sautéed vegetables (domestically produced), tomato puree, oyster mushrooms, tomato paste, red wine, boiled white kidney beans, rice oil, salt, vegetable stock, garlic, miso (contains soybeans), cacao nibs, spices, brewed vinegar , flavored oil

<Comment from Chef Honda>

I tried to make the most of the umami of flavored vegetables so that it wouldn't just be a tomato sauce with vegetables.Instead of relying on soy meat for the taste and texture that replaces meat, we added whole mushrooms and white kidney beans, and added miso and cacao nibs as secret ingredients to create a rich flavor.

Mushroom Peperoncino

A peperoncino that fills your mouth with the condensed flavor of mushrooms.By carefully stir-frying four types of whole mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms, the sauce brings out the umami and aroma, and has a creamy texture that goes perfectly with the noodles.By adding fried garlic oil to the spiciness of chili peppers, you can enjoy a gorgeous scent.

Ingredients: Mushrooms (oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms) (domestic), olive oil, rice bran oil, salt, garlic, garlic oil, red pepper

<Comment from Chef Honda>

At first, I was thinking of using raw garlic, like homemade.However, I realized that mass production would make the fragrance worse, so I added fried garlic oil instead to create a gorgeous fragrance.

What is ZENB Noodles made from 100% yellow peas?

100% yellow pea noodles with a subtle umami and chewy texture.It uses whole yellow peas, which are rich in dietary fiber and vegetable protein, including the thin skin, and has 30% less sugar than usual pasta, udon, Chinese noodles, and rice.What's more, one serving contains 1/1 day's worth of dietary fiber, protein, and is also gluten-free.It is a new staple food that can be used freely in any dish, such as pasta, ramen, mixed noodles, yakisoba, etc., and can be eaten deliciously every day.
