Japanese Tang Xin Grade A Abalone 18~20 Heads #666

Description

Japanese Tang Xin Grade A Abalone (18~20 Heads)

Harvested from Japan’s cold, nutrient-rich coastal waters, these 18–20 head Grade A abalones undergo a 7–9 year slow growth cycle, developing an iconic “tang xin” (jelly-like core) that defines luxury dried abalone. The 18–20 heads designation means 18 to 20 abalones per catty (500g), offering an ideal balance of size, texture, and value for both gourmet dining and gifting.

Distinctive Appearance

Each dried abalone features a deep chestnut-brown hue with a natural powdery bloom, and a thick, tightly curled epipodium (frill) with a granular, caramel-colored edge. When rehydrated and braised, the core transforms into a translucent, velvety jelly, while the surrounding flesh remains tender yet firm, delivering a layered, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Traditional Craftsmanship

Using a centuries-old Japanese sun-drying technique, the abalones are air-cured for 4–6 months without artificial heat or additives. This slow-drying process locks in umami flavors, preserves collagen and amino acids, and ensures the development of the signature “tang xin” texture, with a high rehydration rate that revives the fresh ocean taste.

Nutritional Benefits

Packed with high-quality protein, essential amino acids, taurine, and minerals like calcium and selenium, it is an exceptional tonic for post-surgery recovery, prenatal care, and daily wellness. Perfect for braised dishes, congee, or luxury banquet courses, each bite offers a rich, savory depth with a silky, gelatinous finish.

Luxury Gifting

Hand-selected from Japan’s premium abalone fisheries, each piece undergoes strict quality checks to guarantee authenticity and no artificial enhancement. Ideal for holiday gifts, corporate presents, or gourmet collections, it embodies culinary prestige and thoughtful care.
