Booth Highlights of Chlorella Industries

At our booth, we will showcase vegan-friendly products made from highly nutritious and eco-friendly Chikugo Chlorella. Chlorella provides a well-balanced mix of nutrients, including protein, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, making it an ideal ingredient for health-conscious individuals and those following a plant-based diet. Discover a new vegan product that is packed with both flavor and nutrition.

Chlorella is a plant-based ingredient that is beneficial for both the environment and human health.

We invite you to experience the rich and authentic taste of Japanese plant-based ramen.

Visitors can enjoy tastings of our new product, "mochotto with CHLORELLA Plant-Based Ramen (Soy Sauce Flavor)," along with other featured products at our booth. Come and experience our delicious innovations for yourself!

Plant-Based Ramen Soy Sauce Flavor Package

mochotto with CHLORELLA Plant-Based Ramen Soy Sauce Flavor

Under the supervision of Chef Kusumoto from the vegan restaurant "Saido"—ranked No.1 in the world by HappyCow (2019), the largest global vegetarian and vegan restaurant guide—this product faithfully recreates the rich flavor of Saido’s signature ramen soup. While both the noodles and soup are made entirely from plant-based ingredients, the addition of chlorella extract enhances the depth and richness of the flavor.

Unlike conventional dried ramen products, our ramen contains no artificial seasonings (such as amino acids), artificial flavors, colors, refined sugar, yeast extract, or protein hydrolysates. It is also completely free from five pungent roots (such as garlic, onions, leeks, and shallots) and alcohol, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences, cultural traditions, and lifestyles.

By incorporating Chikugo chlorella, we have achieved the umami depth (inosinic acid) typically found in animal-based products, resulting in a rich and satisfying plant-based ramen experience.

Come and taste our plant-based ramen!

We invite you to visit our booth during the designated tasting hours to experience the exceptional flavor for yourself.

We look forward to welcoming you!
