**Product Development Inspired by Mothers’ Voices**
The crunchy, slightly firm okara rice cracker "Kirazu Age" was born in 1995. It has a crispy texture that becomes addictive. At the time of development, soft snacks were mainstream, and because of the nature of using okara, the manufacturing process had to be improved to prevent it from becoming too hard. During this process, a mother’s voice at a local cooperative exchange meeting inspired the product: a female member said, "Since hard snacks can also serve as a teething aid for children, please make one!" This led to the commercialization of the product.
**Distinctive Wave-Shaped Original Cut**
The characteristic wave shape was developed to make it easy for small children to break and enjoy. Kirazu Age was created with children’s smiles in mind. The word "Kirazu" means "not cut" vegetables, and it is an old term for okara still used in some regions. Over decades since its release, the product has expanded to include dozens of flavor variations. We invite children and adults alike to enjoy "Kirazu Age."
