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.
• Mixed with yogurt or vegan mayo : The perfect dip for grilled vegetables or sandwiches.
• Glaze instead of grilling : Brush with tare just before serving – for a caramelly umami crust.

Aperitif & Dips

Your aperitif plate gets an upgrade in just a few steps:

🪄 A spoonful of Furikake or Umami Royal on hummus, yogurt or cream cheese dip – the flavor boost is ready.
🪄 A few drops of Mango Drop Sauce on burrata, grilled bread or grilled vegetables – spicy, smoky, sweet & surprising.
🪄 Combine your favorite bread, cheese, or delicatessen with J.Kinski's creative ingredients for new aperitif moments with style.
