大西食品

職人の技が生んだ、ぷりぷりアクなしこんにゃく

いつも温かい笑顔で迎えてくれる大西食品3代目社長大西利明さん。徳島県阿南市那賀川町で昭和初期に創業し、地元で愛され続けるこんにゃくを作っています。

大西食品のこんにゃくは、3つのこだわりを大切にしています。

　

①素材
群馬県産や地元のこんにゃく芋を中心に厳選された国産材料のみを使用。
　

②臭い
こんにゃくの臭みを取り除くため、従来の水酸カルシウム（凝固剤）の代わりにホタテの貝殻を砕いて使用。これにより臭みがほとんどなく食べやすい味に。
　

③食感
一般的にこんにゃく芋に対して4〜4.5倍以上の水を使うところを、あえて3〜3.5倍の比率に。これによりぷりぷりとした弾力のある食感を実現し、アクが少ない仕上がりに。

昔ながらの手法で作られた全９種類のこんにゃくは、どれも甲乙つけ難い美味しさ。特に注目されているのが、2020年から販売している『竹炭こんにゃく』。


阿南市竹炭製造組合から仕入れた地元の竹炭を使用し、竹林の宝庫『竹のまち あなん』を象徴する商品です。
竹炭は天然のミネラル成分を豊富に含み、デトックス効果も期待できる健康的な素材として
昨今注目されています。
見た目は真っ黒で驚かれるかもしれませんが、
竹炭がこんにゃくの臭いを吸収することで、さらに食べやすい味に仕上がっています。

あわい商店では「さしみこんにゃく」「生芋こんにゃく」「竹炭こんにゃく」の3商品を取り揃えています。
きんぴらなどの炒め物や水炊きにぴったり。肉じゃがに入れてももちろん美味しい大西食品のこんにゃくをぜひお試しください。
