Discover the premium quality of Japan Chicken Tenderloin, locally known as "Sasami" (ささみ). Located on the inner side of the chicken breast, this cut is prized in Japan for being the leanest and most tender part of the bird. Unlike the breast meat which can sometimes be dry if overcooked, the tenderloin retains a soft, silky texture, making it a favorite for chefs and health enthusiasts alike.
At AL MODINA Japan, we prioritize freshness and integrity. Our Sasami is sourced from trusted domestic farms and processed under strict Halal guidelines, ensuring you get meat that is not only spiritually compliant but also of the highest hygiene standards. Whether you are meal-prepping for a fitness diet or cooking a delicate family dinner, this cut offers unmatched versatility.
Japanese poultry is globally recognized for its superior freshness and lack of "gamey" odor.
Sasami is legendary in the fitness community. It is almost pure protein with exceedingly low fat content.
High Protein: Essential for muscle recovery and growth.
Low Calorie: The perfect protein source for weight management diets without sacrificing satiety.
Nutrient Dense: Rich in Niacin and Vitamin B6, supporting energy metabolism.
Because it is a muscle that does very little work, the tenderloin is incredibly soft. It has a mild, clean flavor that absorbs marinades and seasonings beautifully, making it a culinary blank canvas.
We understand the difficulty of finding fresh, Halal-certified local meat in Japan. Our supply chain is strictly monitored to ensure no cross-contamination, giving you peace of mind with every bite.
While boiling is a popular healthy method, Japan Chicken Tenderloin shines in many other dishes.
Sasami Katsu is a beloved dish in Japan.
Method: Bread the tenderloins with panko and fry.
Result: The outside is crunchy, while the inside remains incredibly moist and soft—often softer than standard breast katsu. It’s a kid-friendly favorite!
A classic cold appetizer.
Prep: Poach the strips gently with ginger and green onions. Shred the meat with a fork.
Serve: Place over sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, then drizzle with a savory sesame paste sauce. It’s refreshing, healthy, and protein-packed.
Because Sasami cooks very fast, it is perfect for quick dinners.
Tip: Slice the tenderloin diagonally and toss with broccoli, snap peas, and oyster sauce. The meat stays tender even over high heat if not overcooked.
In Yakitori bars, Sasami is a premium skewer option.
Toppings: Grill gently and top with Wasabi or Umeboshi (plum paste) and Shiso leaf. The sharp toppings cut through the mildness of the meat for an elegant bite.
To get the best out of your Japan Chicken Tenderloin:
Removing the Tendon: Each tenderloin has a white tendon running through it. For the softest texture, especially when frying, you can remove this by holding the tendon with a paper towel and scraping the meat down with a knife.
Do Not Overcook: Because it is so lean, it cooks rapidly. Poaching or steaming typically takes only a few minutes.
Storage: If you buy the 1kg pack and cannot use it all, portion the fillets into freezer bags. They freeze excellently and thaw quickly due to their small size.
AL MODINA Japan bridges the gap between authentic Halal requirements and high-quality Japanese produce.
Freshness Guaranteed: Delivered directly to your door with cold-chain logistics.
Volume Options: Available in 500g for small families or 1kg for meal preppers.
Trust: Thousands of customers rely on us for their daily Halal groceries.
