Why Choose New Age?
New Age is dedicated to bringing the best of traditional flavors into the contemporary kitchen. Our 100g Ogiri Powder is meticulously sieved to ensure a smooth, grit-free experience. We understand that Ogiri is an acquired but essential taste; by providing it in a clean, powdered form, New Age makes it easier than ever to share the authentic flavors of heritage with the next generation of food lovers.
Chef's Tip: Ogiri powder is highly concentrated! Start with a small amount (about half a teaspoon for a medium pot) and taste as you go. To get the best aroma, add the powder during the initial boiling stage of your soup base—this allows the heat to "cook out" the raw fermented scent and leave behind a rich, savory depth.
