Marukome’s plant-based milk “Plus Koji Rice Koji Milk” has been selected as one of the “Anuga tasteInnovation Show 2024 Winners” at the THAIFEX exhibition held in Bangkok, Thailand, from May 28 to June 1, 2024.
THAIFEX is the largest food and beverage industry exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region, with 3,133 exhibitors from 52 countries and regions and 85,850 visitors from 131 countries. “Rice Koji Milk” is a plant-based milk free from allergens like dairy and soy, making it suitable for people with lactose intolerance. It contains rice-derived vitamin E and koji-derived ergothioneine, a rare amino acid known for its antioxidant properties.
At the “Anuga tasteInnovation Show,” it was particularly recognized as an excellent plant-based and allergen-free alternative food. The product combines fermentation and plant-based milk, featuring a flavor with reduced sweetness achieved through Marukome’s unique fermentation technology, and was highly praised as a “beverage of the future.” Following this award, Marukome plans to focus on expanding exports beyond Japan.
