The "Gen-Tare Salad" at Ou Banquet lets you enjoy the taste of Aomori as a salad, right in Akihabara.
It is dressed with our special dressing based on "Gen Tare (Stamina Gen Tare)", the all-purpose sauce every Aomori local knows, blended to coat fresh vegetables perfectly.

What is "Gen Tare", Aomori's soul seasoning?

Loved above all in the Kamikita region of Aomori, "Stamina Gen Tare" is known for its garlic aroma and deep soy-sauce umami.
It is famous as an all-rounder that suits not only meat but also vegetables and fish.

At Ou Banquet we do not use it as is — we arrange it in our own ratio.
Balancing sweetness, saltiness and a gentle touch of heat, we turn it into a flavor completed as a salad.

Crisp vegetables meet the savory Gen Tare

The vegetables are chosen fresh each day. Classics like lettuce, mizuna and cucumber are joined by seasonal vegetables for color.
Tossed with Gen Tare, the savory aroma and richness stand out, giving it the presence of a main dish.

Though a salad, it is popular as an "otsumami salad" that keeps the drinks coming — especially good with beer or a highball.

The taste of Aomori, straight to Akihabara

Ou Banquet uses seasonings and ingredients shipped directly from Aomori to recreate the home cooking of Tohoku as faithfully as possible.
The Gen-Tare Salad is one of them — a beloved local Aomori flavor, easy to enjoy in Akihabara.

Simple in appearance, yet one bite fills your mouth with aroma and umami.
Many guests who try it once come back saying, "I could drink on this alone."

Perfect with a meal, perfect as a snack

Great as a starter, and an excellent companion to grilled or fried dishes.
Refreshing yet rich, it is also popular as a palate cleanser between heavier plates.
