Authentic retort food "Fantasy Gourmet Journey" tickles the hearts of art lovers! 

This time, we would like to introduce you to Caramino Foods' "Fantasy Gourmet Journey".

It is an authentic retort food with the theme of "I want to eat with Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Munch" that tickles the hearts of art lovers. The retort pouches have an unbelievably authentic taste, so you can enjoy an imaginary gourmet trip while staying at home!

– We asked the person in charge what led to the product development and what they were particular about.

“It all started with our desire to create products that embody our company’s mission of ‘creating food that not only satisfies the stomach, but also fills the heart.

As the first step of such a 'imaginary gourmet trip', the theme was 'art x food'.

Who are the familiar painters in art that everyone knows? As a result of discussion, it was decided on these three people. Everyone should have touched the works of these three people somewhere .... We would be happy if you could experience connecting with such great people through food. ”

“In addition, each product comes with a postcard of each work. We wanted to create a product that leaves a lasting impression while eating and even after eating, so we included a postcard that remains in shape. We'd like you to decorate and enjoy it even after eating! . ”

We actually tried it!

Provence-style chicken stew you want to eat with Van Gogh 

This time in Editorial Team, we actually tried the product. We're really looking forward to seeing how full-fledged it is!

First of all, from "Van Gogh and Provence chicken stew". The package with the motif of Van Gogh's masterpiece sunflower is also very nice.

The key is to retain the aroma and flavor of olives and rosemary, which are familiar from the Provence region where Van Gogh spent the last years of his life. The olives are cut in half and the rosemary is hand-filled into each pouch, one by one, so that the flavors can be fully appreciated.

All products are in retort pouches, so it's very easy to warm up in the microwave while still in the pouch! Anything can be cooked in less than 2 minutes.

From the moment we heated it in the microwave, we could smell the herbs. We were impressed by the authentic taste that overturned the image of retort pouch food.

It's easy to make, but it also makes you feel like you've been to a restaurant or bistro. The olives are large, so we recommend pairing it with wine and cheese or eating it with a bucket and sharing it with family and friends.

Tahitian tropical curry that you want to eat with Gauguin

"Tahitian tropical curry" inspired by Gauguin's Tahitian woman.

A dish that was tried and errored to bring out the “fruity” feeling of fruit curry. When making retort food, the high-temperature heating and pressurization process makes the fruitiness disappear. In order to bring out the tropical taste of Tahiti, they repeated trial productions, and finally arrived at the luxurious use of bananas. Again, each pouch is hand-filled with bananas to add flavor.

It was the first time I ate fruit curry, but the moment I put it in my mouth, the scent of sweet fruit spread, and the spiciness of the curry followed.

In the package photo, it is served with banana, but this time I served it with a refreshing lemon. The taste is quite good and is a must for curry lovers. It is probably not easy to taste it even in a restaurant.

The roux is thick, so it would be delicious on naan as well.

Lemon Salmon milk soup that you want to eat with Munch

Lastly, lemon milk soup with salmon as the main ingredient, which is a typical Norwegian ingredient where Munch grew up.

The purchased salmon is soaked overnight in white wine to prevent the unique smell of salmon. They make deliciousness with such effort.

Also, the lemon milk soup was created through repeated trial and error to find the perfect balance between the acidity of the lemon and the richness of the milk.

The milk soup with a hint of lemon has a gentle flavor that even children will love. The salmon and vegetables in the soup make it an excellent meal.

Just one dish on a regular dinner table makes the table more luxurious.

This time, it was an introduction to the Fantasy Gourmet Journey. All of them are very delicious and authentic, so please enjoy it while thinking about that person and that world you admire.

In the future, it seems that they will develop products related to great people, such as "music x food" and "author x food", so please look forward to the second and third!
