Bowls & salads with depth
Do you love fresh bowls? Then you'll love J.Kinski . The combination of delicious sauces, noodles, and toppings brings true wanderlust to your plate:

- Organic soba noodles : The perfect base for light summer bowls – nutty, filling & vegan.
-
Mango Drop Sauce : Ideal as a dressing base or sweet and spicy finish for vegetables, tofu or salad.
- Furikake, Umami Royal , Gomasio or Shichimi Togarashi : the crunchy toppings that breathe life into your bowl.
Silvie's tip: Toss soba noodles with a little oil and mango sauce immediately after cooking – this way they won't stick together and will absorb the flavor immediately.
Marinades & Grill Toppings
Whether it's a barbecue on the balcony or a quick stir-fry – Tare sauces from J.Kinski ensure brilliance and taste: Lemon Shoyu Tare or Black Garlic Tare :
- As a marinade for tofu, chicken, vegetables or halloumi.
