See what I mean by the \u201chigh-quality burgers\u201d label. You can\u2019t set up a burger shop in the heart of Ame-mura without delivering the goods. The same Critters people, the Kurita brothers, also run CRITTERS PIZZA and WEST WOOD BAKERS, which will both get your tastebuds watering too!<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s get back to the jerky. This isn\u2019t just any jerky and they don\u2019t want you to consider it just another snack.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img02.jpg\" alt=\"critters jerky, made from wagyu beef\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img02.jpg 800w, https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img02-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img02-400x280.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After visiting Miyazaki on a surf trip, the brothers tasted the flavor in locally-produced Arita beef and decided to make something of their own with it. And that is how it all got started.<br \/>\nWhen you taste it, you\u2019ll see, there is a softness to the beef, almost like you get with a barbecue.<br \/>\nAnd it isn\u2019t dry at all, which is the mark of a good jerky in my book. I\u2019m so glad they went on that surf trip!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"anchor2\" style=\"color: #806c55;\">\u25a0Near Shinsaibashi Station on the Osaka Metro<\/h2>\n<p>Near Shinsaibashi Station on the Osaka Metro<br \/>\nThe idea is to have beef jerky whenever you want it and wherever you want it, and thus the CRITTERS JERKY STAND was born. They\u2019ll be in Shinsaibashi Parco on the basement 1st floor until March 2, open 10am to 8pm.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s easy to get to too. It\u2019s just steps away from the South Ticket Gate of Shinsaibashi Station on the Osaka Metro.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img03.jpg\" alt=\"pop-up CRITTERS JERKY STAND\" width=\"800\" height=\"470\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img03.jpg 800w, https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img03-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The jerky comes in two flavors\u2014Original and Smoke.<br \/>\nA lot of beef jerky is doused in spices like black pepper that can be overpowering, but this \u201cOriginal\u201d flavor really tastes like meat. Flavorings are great, don\u2019t get me wrong, but the whole point of eating beef jerky is the beef flavor, right?<br \/>\nIt\u2019s soft and juicy and oozing with flavor. I\u2019m a huge fan of this original flavor profile.<br \/>\nNow, let\u2019s talk about the \u201cSmoke\u201d flavor. It\u2019s made from round tip and is perfectly balanced with delicate flavor and the richness of an exclusive cut. Aromatic Japanese cherry chips are used to infuse the beef with an amazing aroma during the smoking process. That moment just before you take a bite, the rich aroma greets you and the fine marbling in this red meat will leave you satisfied.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s surprising how the smoked jerky stands up to the original. It\u2019s a bit tougher, but still fabulous. Try them both and see which you like more!<br \/>\nI couldn\u2019t decide. I\u2019m hooked on both!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img04.jpg\" alt=\"CRITTERS JERKY STAND\u306e\u30d3\u30fc\u30d5\u30b8\u30e3\u30fc\u30ad\u30fc\u306e\u30d5\u30ec\u30fc\u30d0\u30fc\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img04.jpg 800w, https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img04-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img05.jpg\" alt=\"CRITTERS JERKY STAND packaging\" width=\"688\" height=\"460\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11185\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll never believe how cute the packages for this jerky are\u2665<br \/>\nThey\u2019re cute enough to give as gifts, and since the shop is right in Ame-mura, near Dotonbori, you can pop right in and pick up a few!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"anchor3\" style=\"color: #806c55;\">\u25a0 Beef jerky as a diet food?! Is it really good for you? <\/h2>\n<p>I bet you imagine beef jerky as a fattening food. Or perhaps you think it is unhealthy. Well here\u2019s the thing, it is actually considered a good food for your diet, because it is full of protein. Maybe it gets such a bad rap because of all the additives that are usually in it.<br \/>\nBut Critters Jerky is different! They only use natural salt as a preservative and keep all of those other chemical additives out of their beef.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img06.jpg\" alt=\"Wagyu Arita beef, cows raised in Miyazaki\" width=\"600\" height=\"533\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11186\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The beef comes from Arita in Miyazaki Prefecture and the cattle are housed in barns that are well-ventilated and adequate sunlight. They are raised on natural mineral water that is pumped up from 100 meters below ground. The cows are fed on carefully selected whole grains and hay. So without depending on medicine to keep the cows healthy, they are raised in a stress-free environment.<br \/>\nArita beef is then sliced thick and dried using an original process. And this is how they get such a fine finished product, juicy to the last bite and rich in flavor.<br \/>\nHave I changed your mind about it being good for you?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"anchor4\" style=\"color: #806c55;\">\u25a0 What\u2019s with all the pop-ups?<\/h2>\n<p>If this sounds good to you, definitely visit the CRITTERS JERKY STAND!<br \/>\nI was going to finish on that note, but there\u2019s just one more thing. Pop-ups are great for businesses who are starting something new. They require less time, money, and risk than suddenly opening a new shop, so the low costs are one of the reasons businesses choose to go this route. It allows them to try out new brands and products and see how well they are received by the public.<br \/>\nAnd personally, I am excited to see new products popping up in the city!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img07.jpg\" alt=\"CRITTERS JERKY STAND logo\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img07.jpg 800w, https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/02\/critters-jerky-stand-img07-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So what about the CRITTERS JERKY STAND?<br \/>\nHonestly, I have now idea how well they are doing with the pop-up, but I do know one thing\u2014the beef jerky is amazing!
