{"product_id":"chimaki-fu-wheat-gluten-cake","title":"\"Chimaki Fu\" Gluten Cake","description":"\u003cp\u003eChimaki-Fu represents Kyoto Kitchen’s invitation to experience the poetic spirit of washoku. “Fu”, or wheat gluten, has long been a quiet but essential element of Japanese cuisine, and this sweet variation has been enjoyed for centuries in Kyoto’s kaiseki traditions. Its texture is uniquely soft and elastic—neither mochi nor tofu—expressing a character entirely its own.\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is wrapped in fragrant bamboo leaves and tied with natural rush grass. When the string is untied and the leaf is opened, a gentle aroma rises before the smooth, resilient texture reveals itself on the palate.\u003cbr\u003eIn Kyoto, chimaki also carries symbolic meaning as a charm of protection and purification, especially during seasonal events such as Gion Matsuri. The Chimaki-Fu we introduce to America carries this spirit forward. It is vegan, high in plant protein, and unlike anything currently found in American cuisine, offering chefs a new texture and a new cultural story to explore. Kyoto Kitchen presents this philosophy one leaf at a time, one bite at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload our product information sheet \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/3688\/7598\/files\/CHIMAKI-FU_light.pdf?v=1768421902\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kyoto Kitchen","offers":[{"title":"Individual","offer_id":51928409014574,"sku":"10120","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case","offer_id":51928409047342,"sku":"10120-040","price":480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/3688\/7598\/files\/2ca6d39696b1f209bea0e2d4a094a976.jpg?v=1768423751","url":"https:\/\/store.kyotokitchen.jp\/products\/chimaki-fu-wheat-gluten-cake","provider":"Kyoto Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
