The bridge's position in Hubei is similar to Pegasus' status in Chongqing, with a share of more than 80% in Hubei. Foodies' favorite Zhou Black Duck, Jingwu Duck Neck, Xinnong Beef and other special products are indispensable behind the bridge condiments.
"Daqiao" monosodium glutamate originated in the 50s of the last century, and its name is derived from the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, which belongs to Asia-Pacific Flavor, the market leader in condiments in Central China.
Unlike brands such as Fufeng that insist on the main business of MSG, Daqiao aims at the emerging chicken essence market. Previously, Ohashi monosodium glutamate has been the main product of the Asia-Pacific condiment company, and then when Totole entered the chicken essence market, Ohashi also adjusted the main product to chicken essence. Ohashi was also involved in the drafting of China's bouillon on chicken industry standard. As a result of the successful transformation, Asia Pacific achieved 10% growth in 2012 despite the continued downturn. The sales volume of Daqiao chicken essence in the country is second only to Shanghai's Totole.
Due to the good development momentum, Asia-Pacific was favored by McCormick in the United States, and reached an acquisition in 2013. Many people lamented that Wuhan has lost another time-honored Chinese brand. However, Ohashi MSG has not disappeared, and the original taste continues. There are two kinds of Ohashi monosodium glutamate: general monosodium glutamate and umami monosodium glutamate, and there are two kinds of umami monosodium glutamate according to the umami grade. High umami monosodium glutamate has higher freshness than plus umami monosodium glutamate, which is twice that of general monosodium glutamate, so the dosage is more economical. Daqiao chef Le MSG is to increase the freshness of monosodium glutamate, there are also two types of fresh and high fresh, the price is the same as that of Daqiao, 900g is priced at about 25 yuan, and the price is not low.
