The markets of Vegetarians and vegans are becoming active in Japan too.

Overseas companies have landed in Japan with vegan products, Japanese companies are producing vegan products and discovering vegan value with their “hidden” products, which are naturally vegan.

We’d like to feature two companies which got the vegan certificate by VegeProject for their products.

 

RICH’S（Rich Products Corporation）

RICH’S (RICH Corporation Japan Co., Ltd.), a major US company of commercial whipped toppings and creams running the business in over 100 countries around the world.

They started to sell whipped topping and now they are frozen food specialty company which expand different businesses such as bakery, desert, and cheese.

Last year, they started to run business in Japan and one of their products, “plant-based cooking cream” got the certification of vegan by VegeProject. 

 

“plant-based cooking cream” is the cream that is made from some combination of multiple plant based materials like brown rice, pea-derived protein, and tapioca that are rare in Japan.

If you’d like to know about RICH’S and plant-based cooking cream, please take a look at VEGETIME (Japanese vegan related media, written in Japanese).

ORGANIC FARM FARMIN Co.,Ltd.

Organic farm Farmin Co., Ltd (Miyazaki) makes rice without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers and develops the product using the rice.

They utilized vegan certified mark through some products such as “Cooked rice with golden Ibuki Sprouted brown rice and black rice“.

This time, their product, “Golden Ibuki” Amazake made from sprouted brown rice got the vegan certification by VegeProject.

The characteristics of this amazake are nutritious and one can enjoy their popping texture because it is brown rice which was sprouted rice being raised carefully.

They do not have any sugar or additives, but we can taste enough sweetness thanks to the fermented process.

Please take a look at VEGETIME for more details (written in Japanese).
