Are any pesticides or chemical fertilizers?
No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used. Our contract farmers on the Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita Prefecture put time and effort into cultivation, including removing pests by hand and using fully ripened compost as organic fertilizers.
Can I take it in warm water?
Not recommended. The powder may clump in warm water, which makes it less easy to drink. Try using lukewarm water at a lower temperature. We have confirmed that the nutrients listed on the label do not decrease in water of 80°C when measured after 30 minutes. It can be enjoyed with milk as well.
Can I take more than the recommended amount?
It is okay to drink more than the daily recommended amount. However, the water-soluble dietary fiber in the product may cause soft stools. The quantity of intake should be increased gradually.
Is it okay to prepare in advance?
It is not recommended because no preservatives are used. Please consume as soon as possible after preparation. The quality of the powder remains stable if unopened. Once dissolved in water, the flavour may be lost, and the quality may change depending on the storage conditions.
It is safe for children and pregnant women?
