(Location: Kita-ku, Niigata City) will launch two new products nationwide on Monday, March 30, 2026: "82g Okaki Mochi 2 Kinds of Seaweed Flavor" and "80g Okaki Mochi 2 Kinds of Coarse Sugar Flavor," which are assortments of two types of kakimochi (sliced and dried rice cakes) that focus on texture and flavor.
■Pursuing the "Texture" and "Flavor of Ingredients" Demanded by Customers
The particular focus of the newly released "Okaki Mochi" series is "texture" and the "flavor of ingredients." According to a survey conducted by our company*, when purchasing kakimochi, customers place a higher importance on "texture" and "eating satisfaction" compared to other genres. Additionally, it was found that kakimochi users tend to prefer products containing ingredients such as beans, seaweed, and shrimp.
To respond to these customer requests, we developed these products with a strict focus on "texture" and the "flavor of ingredients."
