VegeProject Japan is working to increase vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based food options. One of our missions is to grant vegan certifications to small, medium, and large companies. The number of companies which obtained these certifications is increasing remarkably every year. Our certification mark has become the most used vegan mark in Japan.

Let us introduce some of the products of world-renowned companies which recently obtained our vegan certifications.

Adding to its 30 Years of History, Mt.Rainier Now Offers Soy and Oat Milk for its Latte Selections
(Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd.)

 

Morinaga’s popular Mt.Rainier Caffè Latte has launched a plant-based series using no animal ingredients. You can enjoy the soft sweetness and aroma of oat with the new “oat latte”. Or you can enjoy the refreshing and mild taste of the renewed “soy latte”. Both of these options contain 30% less calories than the classic Mt.Rainier Caffè Latte, so they are good options not only for those who are vegan, but also for those who are calorie-conscious.
