Takakura Shinsan Industry's "Daijoubu na Mono" Jerusalem Artichoke Kinako Maru has evolved the traditional Japanese confection "Kinako Stick," known for its gentle sweetness and moist texture, into a guilt-free treat. Made with 100% ingredients from Hokkaido. We carefully select the highest grade of mineral-rich beet sugar syrup, which is among the most nutritious types, and combine it with health-promoting kinako (roasted soybean flour) and organic Jerusalem artichoke, which is rich in dietary fiber that is less readily absorbed by the body.
＜Selected Hokkaido ingredients chosen with care by "Daijoubu na Mono"＞
● Rich in nutritious kinako!
Kinako, made from soybeans, contains plant-based estrogens called soybean isoflavones (a type of polyphenol), soybean saponins that support health, lecithin that helps regulate eating habits, calcium, and abundant plant-based proteins. Additionally, kinako is rich in iron (non-heme iron). It contains not only soluble dietary fiber but also insoluble dietary fiber, which is about four times more than that found in burdock root.
● Luxuriously using organic Jerusalem artichoke!
The inulin contained in Jerusalem artichoke is a storage polysaccharide unique to the Asteraceae family. Unlike starch, it dissolves in hot water and, through digestion, becomes a type of oligosaccharide called Jerusalem artichoke oligosaccharide (Inulo-oligosaccharide), supporting a healthy lifestyle.
Most kinako candies are coated with regular kinako powder, but "Daijoubu na Mono" repeatedly requested prototypes from factories and challenged the use of costly organic Jerusalem artichoke powder to enhance the guilt-free quality. The factory staff, who initially said, "Since this is our first time making it here, we can't guarantee the taste," ended up giving a thumbs-up, saying, "This is delicious!"
● High-quality beet sugar syrup chosen as a substitute for starch syrup
"Beet sugar" is sugar produced from the roots of sugar beets.
Beet sugar syrup is made by removing impurities from the juice extracted from sugar beet roots and then boiling down the juice. Because it is produced while retaining molasses components, it contains minerals and other nutrients.
There are various grades of beet sugar syrup. "Daijoubu na Mono" selects the highest grade of beet sugar syrup produced in Bihoro, Hokkaido. It is a rich, flavorful syrup finished with the essence of beet molasses.
● Very few sweets use beet oligosaccharides
Beet sugar naturally contains oligosaccharides, which serve as food for beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria. We deliberately chose beet oligosaccharides to add sweetness, which are more expensive than water syrup.
Most commercially available sweets do not use beet oligosaccharides due to their higher cost.
● Committed to using no food additives
- Free from refined sugar and granulated sugar- Free from reduced starch syrup- Free from genetically modified ingredients- Free from artificial coloring
● Made in Japan
