Tochigi and Toyama anchor Japan's hatomugi cultivation; cosmetic-ingredient extraction and 'mochi-hada' positioning are uniquely Japanese.
Coixenolide 0.05-0.15% in standardised extracts; coixol 0.1-0.3%; protein 13-18% (seed dry weight).
Hatomugi-cha for export retail, premium skincare moisturisers, Kampo-based supplement lines.
Traditional Japanese grain (Coix lacryma-jobi var. ma-yuen) consumed for centuries as hatomugi-cha and as a Kampo herbal raw material (Yokuinin). Functional positioning centres on coixenolide and coixol active fractions for skin-positioned beauty applications, plus the seed's protein and dietary fibre profile for general nutrition. Tochigi, Tottori, Saitama, and Toyama host the principal cultivation. Cosmetic ingredient grades drive premium skincare lines — especially in 'mochi-hada' (mochi-skin) positioning — while hatomugi-cha remains a major retail beverage category.
