Herbal Spices I am selling the herbal spices that were served with the lamb skewers, a specialty of Jilin Province, home to Changbai Mountain, the birthplace of medicinal cuisine in China and Korea, where I went to purchase Korean ginseng honey and Reishi mushroom powder. I didn't have a very good impression of lamb, imagining it to have a gamey smell, and I thought I could only eat it with a strong seasoning like Genghis Khan. However, the lamb skewers that everyone eats in Korea and Jilin Province had absolutely no smell, and the herbal spices had a unique deliciousness that was truly impressive! Even after returning to Japan, I couldn't forget that taste, so I bought lamb at the supermarket and tried grilling it, but I couldn't recreate that flavor, and I was about to give up. Then, I received a call from a friend, informing me that there was a man from Inner Mongolia, China, who had come to Osaka and was making lamb skewers. I immediately went to meet him. It was a truly impressive factory with excellent hygiene management, and the president was exactly the image of Inner Mongolia, which made me laugh to myself. When I talked to him, he was 39 years old and had moved with his wife and children, and he loves Japan. He has properly established and registered his company and pays taxes, so I welcome this kind of foreigner. His company mainly sells to Chinese residents in Japan, and he asked me, "Do Japanese people eat lamb skewers?" But I pounded my chest and said, "Leave it to me, I'll sell them!" (laughs) However, the herbal spices that come with these lamb skewers and the beef skewers made by his company seemed to be a step down compared to the authentic taste. So, I ordered samples from nearly 10 manufacturers in Korea and Jilin Province and tasted them all. Currently, Jilin Province is a popular tourist destination for domestic Chinese travelers, and it seems that it's impossible to make reservations at North Korean restaurants in the city, and there are many herbal spice manufacturers. As a result of the tasting, I chose these herbal spices. Basically, herbal spices are based on cumin and white sesame seeds, but the manufacturer I chose uses perilla seeds, which is expected to have a greater medicinal effect, and it had the taste that was truly impressive when I ate it in the authentic place. I hope you will all use it in various dishes. Product Name: Herbal Spices Origin: Jilin Province, China Storage: Cool, dry place Type: Spice
