Freezing of Japanese sweets (ohagi, soybean flour mochi, grass mochi, yokan) (rapid freezing demonstration)

The customer is a certain restaurant in Tokyo that is famous for having difficulty getting reservations, and they were considering offering new Japanese sweets at the store, and they wanted to use rapid freezing for that purpose, so we conducted this freezing test. .

The guest was a famous chef who has been featured in many media outlets, and we were very excited to help out.
(If you can make a reservation, I would definitely like to visit the store!)

When Japanese sweets are rapid freezing, the surface does not dry out compared to regular freezing, and the flavor and sweetness can be preserved for a long period of time, so this is one of the products that many customers use.

Therefore, we confidently recommend it to our customers!

Freezing Japanese sweets

On the day of the event, they brought snacks such as ohagi, kinako mochi, kusa mochi, and yokan.

This time, we will try both the air freezing type and liquid freezing type.

For Re-Joice Freezer, which uses liquid freezing, the food is vacuum-packed from the top and then placed into the machine.

In addition, in the case of Japanese sweets, it may be better to freeze them in the air or in a bag or case to prevent surface drying and flavor deterioration, so we recommended testing that pattern as well.

After freezing Japanese sweets

In this freezing test, it was rapid freezing to -20℃ in just 30 minutes.

Items placed in a case take a little longer because there is an air layer, but they become solid faster than in a shock freezer.

The ohagi and yokan are ticking!

Results after defrosting Japanese sweets

After the freeze test, we sent it back to you by mail.

We also received samples after freezing and tried them out, and we felt that all of rapid freezer were better at restoring them to fresh than regular freezing.

However, this time as well, there were differences in quality between rapid freezer, so we plan to make recommendations to customers based on the results!

If you are interested in the results, please come to our test room.
