Born in Japan, Made in Japan MADE IN JAPAN, BORN IN JAPAN, EATEN GLOBALLY, E.A.K. Ramen aka Machida Shoten in Japan, started back in 2008 in Machida City, Japan. This was our rst shop to fulll our goal to spread the IEKEI style of ramen to the world. Our purpose was to be a shop that is loved by everyone, but especially locals. We wanted to provide the best possible ramen, service and atmosphere to our neighbors. With this in mind, we started our mission to spread IEKEI to the world. Iekei (pronounced E-A-K) is a style of ramen that originated from Yokohama Japan.It is a perfect balance of the popular Tonkotsu style of Kyushu in the West, and Shoyu style from Tokyo in the East. What makes our ramen distinct is that we use thick straight noodles to compliment the savory broth. Our EAK style is a modern take on the original iekei style. We’re delighted to bring this style of ramen to you. Don’t be afraid to go nuts on this bowl of ramen and slurp. Currently, we operate throughout Japan, Asia and parts of Europe. After capturing a major part of Japan, we decided the time was right to cross over the Pacic and enter the US market. To slurp? or 拉麺 not to slurp?

  • Imported Food Risk Statement Hijiki Seaweed and Inorganic Arsenic
    Imported food risk statement Hijiki seaweed and inorganic arsenic Commodity: Hijiki seaweed Alternative names used for Hijiki include: Sargassum fusiforme (formerly Hizikia fusiforme, Hizikia fusiformis, Crystophyllum fusiforme, Turbinaria fusiformis), Hizikia, Hiziki, Cystophyllum fusiforme, deer-tail grass, sheep- nest grass, chiau tsai, gulfweed, gulf weed ,hai ti tun, hai toe din, hai tsao, hai tso, hai zao, Hijiki, me-hijiki, mehijiki, hijaki, naga-hijiki, hoi tsou, nongmichae. Analyte: Inorganic arsenic Recommendation and rationale Is inorganic arsenic in Hijiki seaweed a medium or high risk to public health? Yes No Uncertain, further scientific assessment required Rationale: Inorganic arsenic is genotoxic and is known to be carcinogenic in humans. Acute toxicity can result from high dietary exposure to inorganic arsenic. General description Nature of the analyte: Arsenic is a metalloid that occurs in inorganic and organic forms. It is routinely found in the environment as a result of natural occurrence and anthropogenic (human) activity (WHO 2011a). While individuals are often exposed to organic and inorganic arsenic through the diet, it is the inorganic species (which include arsenate V and arsenite III) that are more toxic to humans. Only inorganic arsenic is known to be carcinogenic in humans (WHO 2011a). Inorganic arsenic contamination of groundwater is common in certain parts of the world. Dietary exposure to inorganic arsenic occurs predominantly from groundwater derived drinking-water, groundwater used in cooking and commonly consumed foods such as rice and other cereal grains and their flours (EFSA 2009; WHO 2011a; WHO 2011b). However fruits and vegetables have also been found to contain levels of inorganic arsenic in the range of parts per billion (FSA 2012).

  • Edible Seaweed from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Edible seaweed From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Edible seaweed are algae that can be eaten and used in the preparation of food. They typically contain high amounts of fiber.[1] They may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. Seaweeds are also harvested or cultivated for the extraction of alginate, agar and carrageenan, gelatinous substances collectively known as hydrocolloids or phycocolloids. Hydrocolloids have attained commercial significance, especially in food production as food A dish of pickled spicy seaweed additives.[2] The food industry exploits the gelling, water-retention, emulsifying and other physical properties of these hydrocolloids. Most edible seaweeds are marine algae whereas most freshwater algae are toxic. Some marine algae contain acids that irritate the digestion canal, while some others can have a laxative and electrolyte-balancing effect.[3] The dish often served in western Chinese restaurants as 'Crispy Seaweed' is not seaweed but cabbage that has been dried and then fried.[4] Contents 1 Distribution 2 Nutrition and uses 3 Common edible seaweeds 3.1 Red algae (Rhodophyta) 3.2 Green algae 3.3 Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) 3.3.1 Kelp (Laminariales) 3.3.2 Fucales 3.3.3 Ectocarpales 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Distribution Seaweeds are used extensively as food in coastal cuisines around the world. Seaweed has been a part of diets in China, Japan, and Korea since prehistoric times.[5] Seaweed is also consumed in many traditional European societies, in Iceland and western Norway, the Atlantic coast of France, northern and western Ireland, Wales and some coastal parts of South West England,[6] as well as Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

  • The Valorisation of Sargassum from Beach Inundations
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Review Golden Tides: Problem or Golden Opportunity? The Valorisation of Sargassum from Beach Inundations John J. Milledge * and Patricia J. Harvey Algae Biotechnology Research Group, School of Science, University of Greenwich, Central Avenue, Chatham Maritime, Kent ME4 4TB, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-0208-331-8871 Academic Editor: Magnus Wahlberg Received: 12 August 2016; Accepted: 7 September 2016; Published: 13 September 2016 Abstract: In recent years there have been massive inundations of pelagic Sargassum, known as golden tides, on the beaches of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and West Africa, causing considerable damage to the local economy and environment. Commercial exploration of this biomass for food, fuel, and pharmaceutical products could fund clean-up and offset the economic impact of these golden tides. This paper reviews the potential uses and obstacles for exploitation of pelagic Sargassum. Although Sargassum has considerable potential as a source of biochemicals, feed, food, fertiliser, and fuel, variable and undefined composition together with the possible presence of marine pollutants may make golden tides unsuitable for food, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals and limit their use in feed and fertilisers. Discontinuous and unreliable supply of Sargassum also presents considerable challenges. Low-cost methods of preservation such as solar drying and ensiling may address the problem of discontinuity. The use of processes that can handle a variety of biological and waste feedstocks in addition to Sargassum is a solution to unreliable supply, and anaerobic digestion for the production of biogas is one such process.

However, intense breeding process for obtaining and indicating genetically promising new cultivars and adapted to cultivation environments are demanded. In this sense, for evaluating the special types of irrigated rice genotypes, and determining the adaptability and stability of these using mixed models. First, a preliminary agronomic evaluation of genotypes for special types of irrigated rice was performed, and later, the agronomically promising genotypes were evaluated in multi-site trials, aiming at verifying the interactions with the environment. Statistical analyzes were performed considering mixed models, using the SELEGEN-REML/BLUP software. High genotypic variability among genotypes for special types of irrigated rice was observed, obtaining some agronomically promising and with good adaptability and stability, with high accuracy and selection efficiency using mixed models. The observed wide diversity and rice genetic variability presented new prospects and opportunities for producers for acquiring food of higher added value to consumer market. Key words: Oryza sativa. Black rice. Red rice. Aromatic rice.

The toxicity of arsenic compounds is known to be related to their chemical speciation, and inorganic arsenic (iAs) is more detrimental than other species. Due to the different toxicities of the various chemical forms, speciation analysis is important for evaluating arsenic exposure. In this study, total arsenic (tAs) and six arsenic species (arsenite, arsenate, monomethylarsonic acid, dimethylarsinic acid, arsenobetaine, and arsenocholine) were analyzed in 180 seaweed samples. Although there were differences between seaweed species, the concentration of tAs was detected at levels ranging from 1 to 100 µg/g, and the distribution of six arsenic species differed depending on the seaweed species. No correlation between the concentration of iAs and tAs was found in most seaweed species. Through statistical clustering, hijiki and gulfweed were seen to be the seaweeds with the highest ratios of iAs to tAs.

  • Soy-Simmered HIJIKI
    è è ひじきの煮付け Hijiki No Nitsuké Soy-Braised Hijiki with Carrots and/or Fried Tōfu Hijiki No Nitsuké is especially popular on cafeteria menus and packed into many a child’s lunchbox. This dish combines the bounty of the field – carrots and/or soy in the form of fried tōfu – with the bounty of the ocean – hijiki, a calcium and iron rich sea vegetable. This surf-and-turf notion of balancing the source of foodstuffs in menu planning is typical of Japan’s indigenous food culture, washoku. Hijiki no Nimono can be served on its own as a side dish or tossed into rice; it can also get dressed in a thick, creamy tōfu sauce called shira aé. 4-6 portions 1/4 to 1/3 cup dried hijiki (black sea vegetable, preferably mé hijiki, the ‘buds’); see SPECIALNOTE 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (preferably aromatic sesame oil) 1 slice fried tōfu (abura agé), about 7 ounces, blanched, drained and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon saké 1 and 1/4 cups Dashi (Standard Sea Stock); archived at Kitchen Culture https://tasteofculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Standard-Sea-Stock-Smoky-Sea- Stock.pdf 1 tablespoon sugar 1 carrot, peeled and cut into julienne sticks, about 3/4 cup 2 to 3 tablespoons regular soy sauce (shōyu) 1 tablespoon white sesame, freshly toasted Soak the hijiki in warm water to cover for 10-20 minutes.

  • Effects of Salt, Soy Protein Isolate and Gums on the Properties
    A Title: Development of Healthy Chicken Nuggets with Konjac Flour, Shiitake Mushroom and Quinoa Researcher: Assoc.Prof. Adisak Akesowan Department of Food Science and Technology School of Science and Technology University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce Year of Accomplishment: 2015 No. of Pages: 85 Pages Keywords: Konjac flour, Shiitake mushroom, Quinoa, Chicken nugget, Health food. Abstract This research was aimed to develop a healthy chicken nugget which targeted to lower in fat, free from phosphate and reduce in meat protein content. Initially, the performance of two variables, i.e. konjac/xanthan (3:1) blend (0.2-1.5%, w/w) and shiitake powder (1-4%, w/w) for optimizing a best formulation of low-fat, phosphate-free nuggets was studied. A 13-experimental run was carried out by a central composite rotatable design, and the influence of variables on physical properties (peak force and internal color) and sensory characteristics of nuggets was investigated. Linear, quadratic and interaction effect of variables were found for physical and sensory responses. Addition of konjac/xanthan blend and shiitake powder, both at low level, resulted in increasing nugget peak force; however, higher amount of these variables lowered the peak force. The nugget became darker with more shiitake powder added. With 1.8-3% addition of shiitake powder, low-fat, nuggets presented good sensory acceptance, as observed for a rise in score for color, taste, flavor and overall acceptability. The optimal condition for the low-fat, The research was financially supported by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. B phosphate-free nugget consisted of 0.39% konjac/xanthan blend and 1.84% shiitake powder.
