Ingredients offered

Reishi (Mannentake / Lingzhi)
霊芝 / 万年茸
A foundational TCM/Kampo medicinal mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum). Japanese cultivation, primarily in Nagano and Niigata, evolved beyond traditional wild collection into standardised indoor cultivation in the 1970s. Modern Japanese reishi suppliers produce both fruiting-body and spore (hoshi) extracts, with the spore variant carrying premium pricing on the back of triterpene concentration. FFC notifications support immune-support positioning domestically. Substantial export to North American supplement and functional-coffee categories.

クマザサエキス
Extract of kumazasa (dwarf bamboo) leaves, primarily Sasa veitchii and S. kurilensis from Japanese mountain regions. Used historically as a natural preservative for ekiben (railway lunchboxes) and traditional confectionery on the back of antibacterial polysaccharide content. Modern functional positioning leverages alkaline polysaccharide and chlorophyll-derived actives for both cosmetic (deodorising / antibacterial) and food-supplement (digestive / antioxidant) applications. Hokkaido and Nagano are the principal commercial harvest regions.
