[Review] "CAMP de GOHAN" Makes Delicious Rice for Everyone and is Super Convenient

When you're camping, do you ever find it a hassle to **measure** the rice and **wash** it every time you cook?

Measuring with a measuring cup, spilling rice, and exclaiming "Brrr!" when your hands touch cold water.

What's more, if the water source is far away, even just going back and forth is a lot of trouble.

Because of this, you might opt for convenience store onigiri or pre-cooked rice for your camping meals.

But wouldn't it be great to enjoy delicious rice cooked over a campfire while camping?

For those who feel that way, "CAMP de GOHAN" is **highly recommended**.

Here are the benefits:
・Skip measuring rice when preparing for camping.
・No need for troublesome rice washing or carrying a measuring cup.
　You can enjoy delicious rice.

What is "CAMP de GOHAN"?

CAMP de GOHAN is pre-washed rice, portioned into individual 1-go (approx. 180ml) packs, making it easy to cook directly in a mess kit for outdoor use.

Benefits of using "CAMP de GOHAN"

Let's take another look at the pros and cons of "CAMP de GOHAN."

Skip measuring rice when preparing for camping

Since CAMP de GOHAN is individually packaged in 150g (approx. 1 go) portions, you don't need to measure it with a measuring cup every time.

You can open and cook just the amount you want.

When camping, we often have yakiniku, and with yakiniku, it's surprisingly hard to tell how much rice to cook.

We don't want to run out, so we bring extra, but putting rice in individual bags creates trash, and having leftover partial bags is also a hassle.

With CAMP de GOHAN, you can stack the empty packs to dispose of them, minimizing waste.

No need for troublesome rice washing or carrying a measuring cup

When camping with a large group, some people might bring a large bag of rice instead of individual portions and measure it with a measuring cup.

However, when camping, where you want to keep your luggage as light as possible, a measuring cup used only for rice is inconvenient.

With CAMP de GOHAN, approximately 1 go is **individually packaged**, so there's no need to measure with a measuring cup.

Just take out the amount you want to eat.

Before you can enjoy delicious rice, you need to wash it.

With CAMP de GOHAN, the washed rice is already packed, so all you have to do is put it in a mess kit (pot, rice cooker, messtin, Sierra cup, etc.) and let it absorb water before cooking.

Washing rice can be a hassle when the water source is far away or when the water is cold, but with this, you can easily cook rice.

Since you don't have to wet your hands, it's also **perfect for those concerned about rough hands**.

Things to consider when using "CAMP de GOHAN"

The downside is that if you don't mind the effort, there's no particular benefit to buying it.

However, if you camp frequently and find preparations arduous each time, then the individual packs are very convenient.

If you don't mind the effort, you can portion it yourself.

When I go camping, I usually bring pre-washed rice divided into 1-go portions in plastic bags.

This extra step means I need a measuring cup, which can be a hassle.

For those who are busy before departure or find this process troublesome, CAMP de GOHAN is an appealing option.

If cooking for multiple people, a wind screen, mess tin, and pocket stove are required.

If you want to cook for multiple people, CAMP de GOHAN alone isn't enough; you'll need other tools like a mess tin and a pocket stove.

Since the rice is cooked over heat for about 20 minutes, a windscreen is also necessary to prevent the fire from going out.

This is because if the fire goes out midway, the heating will be insufficient, resulting in undercooked rice with a hard core.

I actually tried cooking rice using "CAMP de GOHAN"

I prepared it with the image of a family camp for three (parents and one child).

For a larger group, it might be good to cook multiple portions together in a larger container.

To cook for one person: Mess tin
To cook for 2-4 people: Large Mess Tin

Cooking rice takes only five steps.

The product lineup includes 0.75 go and 1 go, but this time I'm using 0.75 go.
When purchased on Makuake, it will be a 1 go product.

① Put "CAMP de GOHAN" into the cooker.

② Add one level cup of water using the "CAMP de GOHAN" container to the cooker.

This time, I added clams and scallops to one.
It's also delicious with salmon fillets or mentaiko!

Be careful, adding ingredients may require a longer cooking time.

③ Cover and let the rice soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

④ Light the solid fuel and wait until it burns out.

You'll hear crackling sounds as the rice cooks.
Sometimes it's silent, so if you're worried, peek under the lid.

Many people think you shouldn't open it midway, but it's fine if you close it quickly.

I'm using three types of burners this time,
but the Esbit on the left is the most recommended.

Because once it's lit, you can just leave it.

There are also plans for "CAMP de Gohan" that include a mess tin and pocket stove set, so you won't have any trouble with equipment if you choose one of those.

If you want to prepare items individually, please refer to the equipment used in the image.
＞＞Esbit & Solid Fuel
＞＞Alcohol Stove
＞＞Iwatani Junior Gas Burner

＞＞Tables and fireproof sheets are part of the "ZEM CAMP" set.

⑤ Once the fire goes out, wrap it in a towel or cloth and let it steam for about 10 minutes.

If you open it and there's still a hard core,
just close the lid again and steam it for a little longer.

Summary of "CAMP de GOHAN"

You don't need a measuring cup and no need to wash the rice.
