Usage Scenes(Usage/Recipies)
Kaoribako is a ready-to-eat crab-flavored product that requires no heating, making it ideal for professional use in sushi toppings, sashimi-style platters, seafood rice bowls, and hand-rolled sushi. Its vibrant color and fibrous texture closely resemble real Kobako-gani (female snow crab), adding visual appeal and a sense of luxury to any dish.
It can also be used as a topping for salads and cold appetizers, or as an ingredient in soups and chawanmushi (savory egg custard). Widely applicable in Japanese and Asian cuisine, it is well-suited for restaurants, deli counters, and prepared food factories. Individually quick frozen (IQF), Kaoribako allows for easy portion control—just thaw the amount needed—contributing to kitchen efficiency and reducing food waste. As a high-quality product made in Japan, it is well-positioned for adoption in overseas premium supermarkets, sushi chains, hotels, and restaurant kitchens. -
