Some may find Konnyaku, a jelly-like zero-calorie food made from a starchy root vegetable, boring and tasteless, but a theme park in Japan is hoping to change that.
Getting right to the heart of it, visitors there can tuck into a buffet of konnyaku dishes – including fried and stewed konnyaku, curry konnyaku and Chinese-style konnyaku noodles – free of charge. It also features desserts such as konnyaku agar jelly.Yokoo Daily Foods, a konnyaku producer that operates the theme park, told Japanese daily The Mainichi that its buffet was a hit, with visitors queueing for up to two hours for their turn.
Inazawa-based food exporter Nakaki Food started exporting konnyaku noodles and other food products about seven years ago. Its konnyaku rice – made of a mixture of konnyaku and unpolished rice – was a success in South Korea, selling six million packets yearly.
