Professional athletes, who consume a lot of energy, need to supplement with carbohydrates to maintain their muscles and keep moving. Produced by Takuro Nishimura and supervised by Masashi Hachiya, Kikuchi utilizes the bean paste making and dried sweet potato processing techniques it has cultivated since its founding to produce a product that uses mainly dried sweet potatoes from Ibaraki Prefecture, adzuki beans from Hokkaido, and sugar beets from Hokkaido, without any additives or artificial sweeteners, so that athletes can enjoy a stress-free and safe supplementary diet.
Packed with carefully selected ingredients!
Dried sweet potato (produced in Ibaraki Prefecture)
Dried sweet potatoes, which are low in fat and high in carbohydrates, have long been said to be the perfect snack (low GI food).
Of particular note are the minerals potassium and copper, as well as vitamin B6 and dietary fiber; 100g of dried sweet potato contains the amount of potassium, copper, vitamin B6 and dietary fiber required for one adult meal (required amount).
Beet sugar (produced in Hokkaido)
It is rich in natural minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. It also contains natural oligosaccharides that regulate the intestinal environment. It also has the characteristic of causing a slower rise in blood sugar levels than other carbohydrates.
Apple (straight juice from Aomori Prefecture, produced using a sealed method)
Made with 100% Aomori apples using the "sealed squeezing" method. The "sealed squeezing" method involves grating and squeezing the apples in a sealed container to prevent them from coming into contact with air, thereby bringing out the rich flavor and mellow aroma without using any antioxidants (vitamin C).
Setouchi Flower Seaweed Salt
Sun-dried domestic seaweed is soaked in the waters of the Seto Inland Sea and boiled down in a flat pot to extract the seaweed soaked nigari. Domestic seaweed is then sun-dried once more and soaked in the seaweed soaked nigari to bring out the umami components of the seaweed, creating a luxurious sea salt.
