(Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Representative Director: Susumu Shikano) announced the launch of Taiyo Barley, a healthy ramen made with domestic ingredients (wheat flour, barley flour, kale). We have released “Kale Noodles”. This new product is It can be purchased at https://taiyoseifun.com/. ■Product development background (1) The reason was “I wish there was instant noodles that were delicious and healthy” Because Taiyo Seifun manufactures and sells flour, our employees have many opportunities to eat noodles. The main ingredient of noodles is wheat flour, and if you eat too much, you will be concerned about the sugar content and lack of vegetables. “If there were instant noodles that were delicious and healthy, I would be able to eat a lot without worrying about nutrition.” These words from a noodle-loving employee inspired us to start developing Taiyo’s Barley Kale Noodles. (2) Difficulties in making original noodles To create healthy noodles, we first conducted a consumer survey. After considering the answers, we decided to add dietary fiber and vegetable nutrients to the noodles. After trying various ingredients, I decided to use barley flour for the dietary fiber and kale powder for the vegetable nutrition. We decided that the main ingredient would be domestic wheat flour, and the secondary ingredients would be barley flour and kale powder.When we mixed the three ingredients together and started making a prototype, the noodles did not turn out well. In the first place, wheat flour contains a lot of protein called gluten, and adding water to gluten and kneading it creates elasticity and stickiness, which improves the elongation of the noodle dough and gives the noodles their unique texture and texture. However, by mixing ingredients other than wheat flour, the noodles did not stick together properly. Furthermore, barley has a strong bitterness and kale has a unique odor. I had a particularly hard time creating the right blending ratio for this gummy product that didn’t have an unpleasant odor while also allowing the noodles to bond together, but after much trial and error, I was able to arrive at a blending ratio that I was satisfied with. (3) Commitment to local Kyushu and Fukuoka Taiyo Seifun has continued its flour milling business in Fukuoka for 81 years since its founding, and has been supported by farmers and customers in Kyushu to this day. Since we are releasing our own branded products for the first time, we have focused on our hometowns of Kyushu and Fukuoka. Ingredients for the noodles are ramen from Fukuoka Prefecture, barley from Kyushu, and domestically produced kale from Fukuoka company Q-Sai.The soup is an original soup developed by Matsubara Foods, a Fukuoka company.The OEM for the noodles is Yakult Foods Co., Ltd. from Saga Prefecture. Dear” “Taiyo Barley Kale Noodles” is an instant noodle that is delicious and good for your body, released with the cooperation of local people in Kyushu. We want everyone across the country to enjoy this product from Kyushu. ■Product overview “Taiyo Barley Kale Noodles” is made with three carefully selected domestic ingredients. (1) Wheat “Ramugi” developed for ramen “Ramugi” is the name of wheat produced in Fukuoka
Prefecture, developed for ramen by Fukuoka Prefecture, one of the leading ramen prefectures in Japan. When made into noodles, “Ramugi” has characteristics that make it suitable for ramen, such as “strong body, good crispness, and good color.” Due to these characteristics, it is currently used not only in ramen but also in dishes using Chinese noodles such as yakisoba and champon. It is also used in the finishing noodles of Fukuoka’s specialty motsu nabe. (2) Barley is rich in β-glucan, a water-soluble dietary fiber Barley contains two types of dietary fiber, insoluble and water-soluble, in a
well-balanced manner, and the water-soluble dietary fiber “β-glucan” is labeled as functional overseas by suppressing the rise in blood sugar levels after meals and promoting defecation. In some countries, it is recognized. The dietary fiber intake target recommended by the government is 21g or more for men and 18g for women between the ages of 18 and 64, but it is said that the actual intake is 2g to 3g. (“Dietary Intake Standards for Japanese (2020 Edition)” formulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) “Taiyo’s Barley Kale Noodles” uses barley from Kyushu, and the amount of dietary fiber per 80g serving is 3.9g, making up for the lack of dietary fiber in modern people. (3) Kale, the currently popular superfood Kale is a
“superfood” that replenishes nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that modern people tend to lack. It is particularly characterized by its high content of calcium, β-carotene, and vitamin C. It is said to be good for beauty due to its rich nutritional content, and is attracting attention as it is also called “edible serum.” The kale used in “Taiyou’s Barley Kale Noodles” is from Kyusai, which is grown in domestic kale fields without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. In addition, in order to enjoy the flavor and texture of kale, we use two types of kale raw materials, powdered kale and crushed kale that retains a grainy texture, and knead them into the noodle strips. With this, we will meet the greedy needs of people who love ramen but hold back due to health concerns, who want to eat delicious food and be good for their health. Image
