Culiacán is a city in northwestern Mexico, the largest city in the state of Sinaloa. The state of Sinaloa is famous throughout Mexico for its delicious cuisine and fresh flavorsome ingredients, thanks to the beautiful vegetables grown there. Because of the abundant flora and fauna of the region it is easy to find dishes made from exotic plants, poultry, fish and seafood.
Because of the city’s large expatriate population, it is possible to find international restaurants offering delicious cuisine from around the world. Particularly, you can see the influence of Japanese cuisine in many dishes.
Waves of Japanese immigrants have long influenced the cuisine of the coastal city of Culiacan. Our Culiacan marinade is a Mexican adaptation of the Japanese umeboshi, known as Chamoy. It is a sweet, spicy and tangy sauce that brings together the flavors of dry pricots, piquin and guajillo peppers, and citrus.
