Gold Award Japanese Washed Cheese OHTAWARA 100g | Tochigi

Gold Award Japanese Washed Cheese OHTAWARA 100g | Tochigi

Yes, Japan Makes World-Class Washed Cheese.

Think Japanese cheese is mild? Think washed cheese is too strong?
This Gold Medal cheese will change your mind. Perfect gift from Japan that pairs with both wine and Japanese sake.


■ WHY IT'S SPECIAL | Gold Medal from 1,900 Cheeses

A Remarkable Achievement - Gold Medal at Mondial du Fromage, standing out among 1,900 entries.

A subtly salty washed cheese with an incredibly soft and chewy texture, brimming with a mild, milky flavor. Less funky than European washed cheese, creamy and approachable. This is real Japanese terroir cheese.

■ HOW TO ENJOY | Sake, Wine, and Potato

  1. Texture: Take out 15 min before eating. Cool inside, melty outside.
  2. Fruit: Fig, apple compote, persimmon. Salt + sweet = perfect.
  3. Drink: Warm sake 40°C / Pale Ale / Light Pinot Noir. Milk fat blooms beautifully.
  4. Potato: On steamed new potato. Simple and best.
