MOA “Shiki no Tomo Tsuyu (All Season Sauce Base)” does not rely on synthetic chemicals, so it is not too heavy. It has a clean, umami and sweet taste that brings out the flavor of the soba.
- Pumpkin and chrysanthemum greens are rich in beta-carotene. It is converted into Vitamin A in the body and helps to strengthen the skin and mucous membranes. This is one vegetable you should actively eat during this time of year when colds and viral infections are common.
