Jumonji University Students from Departments of Food and Nutrition and Food Development to Exhibit at 'ifia/HFE JAPAN 2026'

Students from the Department of Food and Nutrition and the Department of Food Development at Jumonji University (Niiza, Saitama; President: Kazuhisa Adachi) will exhibit at 'ifia/HFE JAPAN 2026', a specialized exhibition for food ingredients and technologies held at Tokyo Big Sight from May 27th to 29th. This year, they will exhibit and introduce original recipes developed through a collaboration with Seishin Enterprise, and some recipes will be available for tasting at the venue. In this project, students took on the challenge of product development by utilizing ingredients such as domestic bamboo charcoal powder, domestic fermented roasted 16-grain powder, and mulberry leaf powder, while considering visual appeal, taste, and nutritional balance. Through tasting events held in preparation for the exhibition, students deepened their practical learning by making improvements based on feedback from corporate representatives and participants. Jumonji University promotes the cultivation of human resources who can thrive in food development and nutritional fields through practical learning in cooperation with companies. This exhibition provides a valuable opportunity for students to experience the potential of 'food' and the charm of product development, and to practice learning that connects with society. 【Food and Nutrition Dept., Takeshima Seminar】 - Mulberry Leaf Anpan: 100 items (29th only) (using mulberry leaf powder) 【Food Development Dept., Kajino Seminar】 - Jet Black Gummy: 300 items (100 per day) (using bamboo charcoal powder) - Monochrome Cookies: 300 items (100 per day) (using bamboo charcoal powder) - 16-Grain Crepes: 240 items (80 per day) (using fermented roasted 16-grain powder) - Fragrant Chewy Baby Castella: 180 items (60 per day) (using fermented roasted 16-grain powder) 【Food Development Dept., Soya Seminar】 - Bamboo Charcoal Fukumikan Rakugan: 300 items (100 per day) (using bamboo charcoal powder and 'Fukumikan' from Tokigawa Town) 【Food and Nutrition Dept., Shibasaki Seminar】 - Black Mitarashi Dango (using bamboo charcoal powder) *No tasting samples provided May 27, 2026 (Wed) 10:10-10:55 Theme: Jumonji University Special Seminar 'Case Studies of Food Development through Industry-Academia Collaboration' Lecturers: Professor Noriko Tsuji and Associate Professor Akio Watanabe, Department of Food Development 'ifia/HFE JAPAN 2026' Dates: May 27 (Wed) - 29 (Fri), 2026, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, West Hall (3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo)
