Tastes just like restaurant food! We covered the production site of Manchinro’s frozen food “Gomoku Yakisoba”!
The crunchiness of the vegetables, the charring of the noodles, the flavor of the meat, and the thickening that is characteristic of Chinese cuisine. Manchinro's frozen gourmet "Gomoku Yakisoba" has been highly praised by regular customers for its restaurant-like taste. We interviewed Mr. Hidaka, the kitchen manager, and Mr. Chiba, the manager, about the secret of its deliciousness!

Careful attention is paid to reproduce the taste of the restaurant.
Manchinro has been using Technican’s TOMIN Liquid Cryo-Freezer, since 2021.
What was your impression when you first tried TOMIN Liquid Cryo-Freezing?
＞Mr. Hidaka, Kitchen Manager
Anyway, I was surprised! Before that, we had tried frozen foods using a regular freezer, but it didn’t work out so well…. When I was struggling with the kitchen staff, we were given the opportunity to try TOMIN Liquid Cryo-Freezers. We were given the opportunity to try the All the data we had up to that point was betrayed in a good way.
What do you feel is particularly different from regular refrigeration?
＞Mr. Hidaka, Kitchen Manager
The color of the vegetables and the texture of the meat and seafood proteins were completely different. Also, the thickening often used in Chinese cuisine. TOMIN Liquid Cryo-Freezers can reproduce the thickening that is often seen in Chinese cuisine, which would normally be separated from the water content when frozen. I remember that the cooking staff and I, who had been having a hard time deciding what to do with it, thought, “This is a good idea.
What is important to you in the preparation of frozen foods?
＞Mr. Hidaka, Kitchen Manager
The most important thing is to serve the same taste as in a restaurant. Manchinro’s frozen foods are products to be heated and served in microwave ovens at home. We calculate the amount of heat needed to cook the frozen food, and cook it so that it is not overcooked in the kitchen but in the best condition when served at home, so that the final product tastes the same as in the restaurant.

Are there any menu items that cannot be TOMIN Liquid Cryo-Freezers?
＞Mr. Hidaka, Kitchen Manager
At this time, we have not been able to achieve products with a doughy feel, such as dim sum. We are still in the process of verifying this. We are trying our best to sell them as a menu item, since TOMIN Liquid Cryo-Freezers are able to realize items that we thought could not be sold frozen!
