TOKYO , Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Meats Co. Ltd, a Tokyo -based food-tech venture known for developing the world's first plant-based barbecue meats, the "Next Yakiniku" series, just announced the launch of their newest version of the Short-Rib style product: the Next Yakiniku Short-Rib 2.0.
The Next Yakiniku series include the Short-rib and the Skirt-Steak types, and has garnered passionate fans and strong media interest in Japan since it became available last year in Yakiniku Like, a popular barbecue franchise with stores all across Japan . Before then, plant-based meats were not widely available in restaurants, and it was certainly the first time it was offered in a barbecue store which specializes in serving meat. Since then, the Next Yakiniku has been sold in supermarkets nationwide and used in a wide range of restaurants, and has been made available in other countries such as Singapore , Hong Kong , and Taiwan . This update is the first since the product made its debut last year.
As for the changes, the renewed Short-Rib 2.0 has a more firm texture, and the shape has been flattened and enlarged so it resembles a sliced beef cut even more. Furthermore, it contains 5% more protein content than before and the sauce is more flavorful, giving it an even closer experience to the flavors of a real Japanese barbecue.
The Next Yakiniku Short Rib 2.0 will first be available for purchase in Japan through the company's E-Commerce Site, then in retailers and restaurants and eventually overseas. Next Meats plans to continue the sales of the older Short Rib 1.1 as well.
Ryo Shirai , (Co-founder of Next Meats Co. and CEO of Next Meats Holdings (OTC Pink: NXMH)) mentioned in the press conference that he is excited to finally reveal the efforts of a years' worth of research and hopes the updated Next Yakiniku Short Rib 2.0 can inspire more people to try Next Meats products and other plant-based foods.
