SWAFFOOD


SWAFFOU launches SWAFFOOD

Savoury Wavering Food From Otherwordly Destinations

old and new contacts from the allmighty, great Luc (whatever!!) led us to some orientall interesting sh*t.

We started out with topnotch, artisan, small production
saké
and moved on with other interesting stuff: make your own tofu, flavoured salt (yuzu, wasabi, ...), sojamilf ... milk!!
miso (different colours) yuzu juice , bonito flakes, old rice variaties, sake residu, wakame, tonburi...
and so much more


tonburi (also named: land, field or mountain caviar)
Tonburi is the dried seed of the summer cypress Kochia scoparia, a speciality of Akita prefecture in Japan.


After harvesting the cypress for its seeds, they are boiled and soaked in cold water for about a day. The outer skin is removed by rubbing it by hand.
The globules are 1-2 mm in diameter, glossy with a black-green color. It has a similar texture to caviar.
Often used as a garnish, it is used in Chinese medicine for urinary diseases and eye fatigue, among other things.
