Product FAQs

What are the best before dates?
Each product comes with its own label and expiration date. The expiration is written in Japanese: 賞味期限 (shou-mi-ki-gen) and the format is yyyy/mm/dd. 

See product details below for individual product information.

Do your products come individually packed?
Yes, most of our products come in portion sizes and are individually vacuum packed. Please check below on the product page for more details.

Where do I leave a review?
Thank you very much for your support. Every product page has a 'Leave a Review' section at the very bottom. Please feel free to leave an honest review. All reviews are anonymous and don't require an account. Once submitted your review will show up immediately and be public for everyone to see. Please do not include personal information.

Are your products Halal or Kosher certified?
We do not specifically carry or import halal or kosher products. Some items are labeled as kosher or halal by default from the country of origin.

Until what temperature can I sous vide the meat in their own packaging?
Our packaging is sous-vide ready (the process of cooking meat in their packaging in hot water for a prolonged time) for water temperatures up to 95°C (200°F). We do not recommend temperatures close to the boiling point but temperatures around 60°C (140°F) with a cooking period between 45 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the type and thickness of the meat.

Now Certified JAS Organic! This product has always been made to organic standards but has now officially been certified under Japan's strict regulations.

Organic chicken meat tends to have red or brown coloring around the bones even after cooking. This is not blood, rather it is proteins called myoglobin and hemoglobin which are predominantly found in healthy free-range chicken that exercise and move a lot. There are no safety or quality concerns. Brining the chicken 24h prior to cooking in a salt solution helps reduce the visual impact.

You get 3-5 bone-in skin-on chicken drumsticks in a convenient 500g vacuum pack. The chicken is naturally slow grown and therefore the meat is much healthier, better formed, tastier, and juicier than commodity chicken.

When it comes to chicken meat for a BBQ, drumsticks are the most popular choice and fly off the plate. Chicken drumsticks are super easy to prepare and taste delicious. This will be your favorite dish for your late weeknight meal. Drumsticks are so popular that there are literally millions of recipes online. See our recipe at the bottom of this page. Please note that our drumsticks are not the Japanese smaller Tebamoto drumsticks/drumettes that are usually found in Japan. Our drumsticks are the much larger and meatier version that is commonly available outside of Japan. Find the smaller drumettes aka. Chicken Tebamoto here.

Free-range, open pasture-raised certified organic chicken from New Zealand. Naturally and sustainably slow-grown with love and care on certified organic apple orchards in Hawke's Bay.

Chicken Drumstick Recipe Instructions

チキンドラムスティックのレシピ

Completely defrost chicken drumsticks and pat dry with a paper towel. All you need is sea salt, paprika powder, garlic, olive oil, black pepper and lemon. 

チキンドラムスティックのレシピ

Mix well. There is no need to over spice, a couple of pinches of each spice is sufficient. Crush and mince two garlic knobs and gently rub the chicken. The paprika powder is not spicy and suitable for kids. If you want spicy drumsticks to add just a little bit of cayenne powder. 

Leave the drumsticks to marinade in the fridge for 30 min or place in a ziplock bag and keep refrigerated for up to 24h max. Before cooking, heat up the skillet or fry pan to very hot, then add extra virgin olive oil and then the drumsticks. This makes the skin crispy and darker in color. Keep rotating for about 5 min. 

Now reduce heat to low and let the drumsticks cook slowly but thoroughly. We recommend adding a lid for shorter cooking times and juicier meat. If you prefer crispy, cook without a lid on low heat, keep rotating so they cook evenly. 

Serve while hot and with wedges of lemon, great and healthy salad without dressing and barbeque sauce. 

Some people worry about the pinkish color around the bones. This is not blood but myoglobin. No matter how long you cook the chicken, the color will not change. If the meat is cooked until the color is white and the internal temperature has reached at least 70 degrees Celsius the meat is safe to eat.

Best drumsticks

We find it challenging to get drumsticks like these in our local supermarket. We love the quality and taste of these and have reordered many times. Try them with a chicken Marbella recipe in the oven or simply with a bit of salt, pepper and paprika. Kids love them too!

Translated from Japanese: It’s very satisfying. My husband was satisfied with it, so I ordered again to roast it with herbs during BBQ next time.

Translated from Japanese: I just added salt and pepper and grilled it in the oven and it was very delicious. You can see that it’s a high-quality chicken with no meat odor. I’ll order again as soon as I finish it.
