I want to add a little extra effort to my usual meals.
From your everyday dining table to radiant beauty.

Simply mix it with rice and cook it to transform your ordinary rice into a special bowl that incorporates the power of Job's tears.

"Domestic adlay for rice cookers" is made from refined adlay grown in Toyama Prefecture, finely crushed to the size of a grain of rice.
It is convenient because it can be cooked together with brown rice, white rice, and mixed grains.

Job's barley has long been known as a grain that keeps the skin healthy, and has been treasured in Eastern food culture and traditional Chinese medicine.

It is rich in protein, amino acids, B vitamins, and dietary fiber, and its balanced nutrition has earned it the nickname "king of grains."
In Japan, it has long been popular among people who are conscious about their health and beauty, and has been an indispensable part of daily meals.

Taiyo Foods' "Domestic Barley for Rice Cookers" brings the benefits of this historic grain to modern lifestyles in a surprisingly easy-to-enjoy form.

No special preparation is required.
Simply mix it with rice and cook it to create fragrant, slightly sweet rice, starting a skincare routine that the whole family can naturally continue.

Starting today, one bowl of this tea will help regulate your body from the inside out, leading to clearer days.
This accumulation is the best investment in cultivating health and beauty.
 

Three reasons why we recommend it

1. Simply add it when cooking rice. Easy to use with no preparation required.

Traditional barley requires soaking and pre-boiling, which can make it difficult to continue.
This product has been polished and refined to roughly the same size as rice, and can be washed and cooked in the same way as white rice.

• Guideline: Add approximately 20g (2 tablespoons) of this product and 30cc of water to 1-2 cups of rice.

• No need for flooding.
  It cooks up fluffy.
  If you prefer softer rice, try soaking it for 30 minutes before cooking.

   

2. "King of Grains" — Balanced Beauty and Nutrition

Compared to white rice, barley has a good balance of high-quality protein and amino acids, and is characterized by a gentle sweetness and aroma derived from the grain.
A daily staple food that helps maintain good condition from the inside out.

3. 100% domestic ingredients, mainly from Toyama Prefecture

We carefully select pearl barley grown in the pure water and fertile soil at the foot of the Tateyama mountain range.
In a market dominated by imported products, we are committed to using domestically produced rice, and we bring out the graininess and flavor of the rice through careful milling and processing.
 

How to use (cooking method)

• Standard: Add approximately 20g (2 tablespoons) of this product to 1-2 cups of rice and wash the rice.

  A pinch of salt brings out the sweetness.

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 knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and extensive research into Job's Wheat and fermented foods, 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."
