Tokyo based food-tech venture Next Meats debuts in alternative protein hotspot Singapore in 10 months after establishment
TOKYO, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Meats, the Tokyo based alternative meat brand and purveyor of the world's first plant-based yakiniku meats, made its debut in the alternative protein hotspot Singapore this week, just 10 months after establishment. The company has collaborated this time with popular Japanese restaurant Aburi-EN, where two types of meal sets using the NEXT Kalbi (short rib) will be available.
As it is the first time that a Japanese company's alternative meats were offered in a chain restaurant in Singapore and the meals are also Aburi-EN's first-ever plant-based menus, their product launch event gained attention from influencers and media personnel.
Made largely from soy proteins, the NEXT Kalbi contains double the amount of protein and half the fats than that of regular meat and even more, it does not contain any chemical additives or cholesterol due to its lack of animal ingredients.
The two menus available at Aburi-EN are the Kalbi Don Set (S$13.80) and the Stamina Teishoku (S$15.80) which will be available from April to July 2021 in all locations of the chain.
For the Kalbi Don Set, Next Meat's Kalbi is grilled and served atop a bowl of fragrant Japanese steamed rice. Equally indulgent, the Stamina Teishoku features the Kalbi stir-fried with cabbage along with eggs imported from Okinawa. The meat is then served with fragrant Japanese steamed rice, salad, pickles and miso soup. For both dishes, the meats are glazed with a special homemade sauce that packs an irresistible umami punch.
