Toyo Nuts Co., Ltd., Japan’s first nut manufacturer, utilizes comprehensive data on nuts and its unique development technologies to create products that meet diverse and detailed customer needs. As a new product, the company will launch “Onkatsu Kurumi,” a functional food aimed at busy women struggling with issues such as “coldness” and “inner care,” starting Monday, September 2, 2024. “Onkatsu Kurumi” is a delicious product combining the comforting sweetness and spiciness of ginger and honey. This is the company’s second functional food product, following the “mininal Sprouted Almonds.” The transition from summer to autumn is a time when people are prone to health problems due to the temperature fluctuations and lifestyle changes, often leading to what is referred to as “autumn fatigue.” One expert points out that “women are more susceptible to coldness, which can lead to health issues caused by the autumn chill and the effects of summer air conditioning.” In a survey conducted by Toyo Nuts among its female office workers, many expressed concerns about coldness as well. Toyo Nuts has focused on the work style concerns of busy women. They developed “Onkatsu Kurumi,” a ginger-infused snack that allows women to experience “warming wellness” easily while satisfying their hunger in a healthy way during breaks at home or the office. With this tasty “Onkatsu snack,” the company aims to become a trusted companion for busy women.
