The Japanese Pantry
Japan
Passionate about Japanese food and tired of not being able to find artisanal Japanese ingredients, our friends Chris Bonomo & Greg Dunmore travel all over Japan, meeting with artisanal producers of traditional ingredients to create The Japanese Pantry. In their collection you will find perfectly roasted sesame seeds, Konbu hand-harvested from the cold, clean waters off of Hokkaido, Tamari produced by a company over 200 years old, and rice vinegar made by a producer so exacting that they grow their own rice, make it into sake, and then turn it into vinegar.
TJP is based in San Francisco, but all of their products are imported from Japan. We are proud to be the exclusive distributor of this line in Southern California (TJP is self-distributed in NorCal, but we are happy to make an introduction).
