Purified Water Quality Converter for Italian Chefs 'Italian Water'

A kitchen water purification quality converter that brings Japan's soft water closer to Italian water quality.

"Italian Water" is a water purification system designed for Italian chefs who carefully select kitchen supplies and cooking utensils. With a 5-layer cartridge, it not only removes harmful substances and odors from tap water but also leaches calcium and magnesium, maintaining a mineral balance similar to that of Italian water in the kitchen. Italy is known for having many regions with mineral-rich water. In contrast, Japanese tap water is primarily soft water, with significantly different levels of calcium and magnesium. This difference in water quality is one of the factors that can affect the outcome of cooking. **The Impact of Water Quality on Cooking** - **Texture of Pasta:** When boiled in hard water, the exterior of the noodles tends to firm up, making it easier to achieve a chewy al dente texture. - **Broth and Soup:** Hard water helps ingredients maintain their shape and allows impurities to separate more easily, resulting in a clearer broth with less cloudiness. - **Tomato Sauce and Emulsified Sauces:** Hard water clarifies the flavors, leading to a richer, thicker finish with a lower center of gravity. - **Espresso:** Minerals are said to contribute to the extraction of bitterness and richness, resulting in a deep and full-bodied flavor.
