4) Komeshiruna
Their van has been fitted with a firewood oven, which they use to cook rice and eggs, and grill meat. Have you ever tasted rice cooked in a stove instead of in an electric rice cooker? Try it with grilled pork, seasoned with salt and some sugar and nothing else.
5) Sauce Mania
They sell raw vegan dressings made from seasonal vegetables and fruits. The dressings are used for salads as well as fish or meat dishes. They are so thick that you can use them even as a pasta sauce.
