**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 is addictive. At the time of development, soft snacks were mainstream, and because of the nature of okara as an ingredient, there was trial and error involved in improving the manufacturing process to make it less hard. During this process, a mother’s voice at a local cooperative exchange meeting said, "Hard snacks can also serve as a teething aid for children, so please make one!" This feedback led to the product’s realization.

**Distinctive Wave-Shaped Original Cut**

The characteristic wave shape was developed to make it easy for small children to break and eat. Kirazu Age was created with the image of children’s smiling faces while eating. The word "Kirazu" means "not cut" vegetables, and is an old term for okara still used in some regions. Decades after its release, the product now offers dozens of flavor variations. Enjoy the "Kirazu Age," suitable for both children and adults.
