'EASE UP Acai Bowl' features a smooth acai base combined with carefully selected fruits and toppings, providing a satisfying texture and flavor. It is recommended not only as a dessert but also for breakfast, snacks, or light meals.
Additionally, the product was developed under the supervision of Shiori Kojima, who was selected as MISS JAPAN 2022 and is active with a focus on 'food' and 'beauty'. The product was finished with a consistent concept, from ingredient selection and product design to packaging.
