Recently, the Japanese airlines introduced a soybeans-based food called "Hiei-Yuba". The food is specially prepared by Yubahachi.
ANA has been introducing Japan's local food through its project called "Taste of Japan".
Yuko Arai, Senior Vice President, ANA, said, "One of the most popular foods for Japanese people is soybean. In Kansai region, Yuba is very popular for soybean food. That's why we picked up Yuba."
Yubahachi is a long-established company of Hiei-Yuba. The company has been promoting its food the world over.
Sachiko Yagi, Hieiyuba Honpo Yubahachi Co. Ltd., said, "The special thing about Yuba is that it doesn't discord from other ingredients; rather it makes other ingredients elegant. I want to make Yuba as common food in the world. My ultimate dream is to make many people addicted to Yuba."
