Carefully selected blessings and power of nature to cultivate beauty

Since ancient times, Job's Wheat has been widely adopted into food culture and medicinal cuisine not only in Japan but also in the East as a grain that keeps the skin healthy.
The seeds are purified and the outer skin is removed to produce "Yokuinin," which is still used in traditional Chinese medicine today and has long supported people's lives as a way to keep the skin smooth.

The power contained in each grain goes beyond simple nutrition. It contains high-quality protein, balanced amino acids, B vitamins that aid metabolism, and dietary fiber. These rich benefits work from within the body, gently supporting clear skin, light circulation, and healthy daily life.

However, in reality, the majority of adlay consumed in Japan is imported (from China, Thailand, India, etc.), and domestically produced adlay accounts for approximately 18% of the total (2018), a trend that is declining year by year. Furthermore, organic production is even more limited, making it truly a precious grain that can be called a "phantom grain."

Taiyo Foods' Job's Tears Enzyme began in 1957 when founder Yasuo Sasaoka successfully developed Neo-Papain Enzyme. Initially, it was released as a unique product that no other company had, but after similar products appeared, the product was renamed Job's Tears Enzyme in 1974. Later, the quality of the ingredients and technology were improved, including the use of organic Job's Tears grown in-house and the domestic production of fruit enzymes, and after more than 60 years of trial and error, the Job's Tears Enzyme has been developed as it is today.

With 60 years of research and development, Taiyo Foods is the only company that generously uses this rare domestic adlay. We skillfully blend four types of adlay: organic shelled adlay, organic young leaves, fermented adlay, and coix seed. Each ingredient is harmoniously blended like a symphony, taking advantage of its unique characteristics. Additionally, we combine fruit enzymes fermented over two years from over 40 types of domestic fruit, and each packet contains 10 billion lactic acid bacteria FK-23, to support your inner beauty from all angles.

Through our unique fermentation technology and the results of our research and development, we have continued to evolve the beneficial ingredients into a form that is easily absorbed by the body, and have been able to elevate this ancient wisdom into a cup that is easier for modern people to enjoy.

This is truly an "edible beauty serum" born from the fusion of the value and tradition of domestic production and modern science.
The wisdom of nature, honed over the years, will awaken your innate clarity.

The Producer's Story - The Philosophy of Taiyo Foods

Taiyo Foods was founded in 1957 by its founder, Yasuo Sasaoka, based on his belief that "food nourishes the body and mind."

After graduating from university, he got a job at a pharmaceutical manufacturer where he was first exposed to the world of traditional Chinese medicine, and became fascinated by it. He decided to devote his life to exploring its potential and unknown power.

Utilizing his knowledge of Chinese medicine and conducting extensive research on Job's Wheat and fermented foods, the first Job's Wheat Enzyme was born in 1974.

Job's tears is a grain of the grass family that has been loved by people since ancient times and has been known as the "master wart remover."

This name does not simply refer to one effect, but is also proof that throughout history it has been revered as a product that "keeps skin healthy and supports beauty and health."

Since then, for over 60 years, Taiyo Foods has continued to move forward without stopping, and has been committed to "manufacturing products that are close to nature and people."

In Toyama, we cultivate over 40,000 square meters of organic barley fields, and we grow each grain with care, listening to the voice of the earth as it changes with the seasons.

Currently, the third generation inherits this philosophy.

With the founder's beliefs in mind, we continue to research and improve our products to address the new health challenges faced by modern people - intestinal disorders, lifestyle-related diseases, and health problems caused by a stressful society.

Rather than simply preserving tradition, the company is committed to modern fermentation techniques, organic farming practices, and efforts to increase transparency in the manufacturing process, ensuring that "safe food" is passed on to the next generation.

Fermented over time, it is delivered in its natural state with sincerity.

That cup of coffee embodies the passion that has been passed down from the founder to the second and third generations.

From the past to the future - Taiyo Foods will continue to move forward with its mission of "protecting people's health."
