Product Details
The rich taste of Kobe beef meets the warmth of a classic butcher-shop croquette
Piping hot and delicious straight out of the fryer -- no sauce needed. These croquettes bring back that beloved, nostalgic flavor everyone remembers.
Perfect as a side dish or a satisfying snack. Add the included beef tallow to your frying oil to enhance the aroma, recreating the irresistible taste of croquettes fresh from a traditional butcher shop.
Why they taste so good -- Reason 1Generously made with Kobe beef!
Our Kobe Beef Croquettes are made with 100% Kobe beef -- every bit of meat is genuine Kobe. The cuts used are brisket (shoulder) and shank. The mince is coarsely ground to preserve a satisfying texture, and the fat that lends its gentle sweetness also comes exclusively from Kobe beef. We use a particularly rich and sweet type of fat called "kenne" (kidney fat).
Why they taste so good -- Reason 2Made with premium Japanese potatoes and onions for quality you can trust.
Even in a Kobe Beef Croquette, the star ingredient is, of course, the potato. We use exclusively Hokkaido-grown potatoes. The cool summer nights in Hokkaido allow the potatoes to accumulate starch, and the large temperature difference between day and night makes the region ideal for producing exceptionally flavorful potatoes.
Why they taste so good -- Reason 3Includes Kobe beef tallow!
The secret to recreating that authentic butcher-shop flavor is the beef tallow! Simply add the included tallow to your regular frying oil before frying the croquettes. The sweet, mellow aroma unique to Kobe beef tallow adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
Frying tips included -- so you can cook with confidence!
The croquettes are delivered frozen in their pre-fried state. Simply place them in the frying oil while still frozen.
We include easy-to-follow frying tips for achieving that perfect crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside finish, so even first-time buyers can feel at ease.
Our croquettes are specially made to resist splitting or bursting during frying.
