Mochimugi (waxy barley)
Maeda offers a wide variety of products made with "mochi-mugi" (glutinous barley), which contains the dietary fiber barley β-glucan.
We have carefully selected two domestic varieties of mochi-mugi: Kirari-mochi and Daishi-mochi.
Kirari-mochi is known for its mild flavor and chewy texture.
Daishi-mochi contains polyphenols and has a pop-in-the-mouth texture.
You can easily consume both the insoluble and soluble dietary fibers found in barley.
We contract directly with farmers whose land is ideal for cultivation!
From pearling and milling to retort processing, we handle everything in-house.
Maeda's Kirari Mochi-mugi is carefully pearled using our own unique technology, resulting in a beautiful color and a mild taste.
Our in-house milling process allows us to achieve the optimal polishing ratio based on the origin and harvest year.
