Tokyo-based food-tech company Next Meats created the Next Yakiniku Short Rib 2.0 as a plant-based barbecue meat with an enhanced texture and shape. Some notable changes to this product in the Next Yakiniku series include a firmer texture and a flatter shape for a meatless option that looks even more beef-like than before. Additionally, the product boasts 5% more protein content and it is said to have a more flavorful sauce that authentically captures the taste of real Japanese barbecue.
Since the first version of this meatless barbecue product made its debut, Next Meats Co. has helped to make Next Yakiniku widely available in restaurants and supermarkets across Asia, including Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
