[Passion of Students Saving the Community] Challenging Three Universities in Hokkaido with the 'Rice Flour Workshop 3-Piece Industry-Academia Collaboration Set' ■ "Social Sweets" filled with students' ideas that connect the future and the blessings of Hokkaido "We want to save the region's wonderful ingredients from food loss" "We want more people to discover the charm of the local area"— This is a limited edition flavor assortment set with deep stories, born from the passionate passion of Hokkaido university students who will shape the future and the skills of our rice flour masters. Although gluten-free with no wheat flour at all, it is baked with a unique method to achieve a "moist and fluffy" texture. Not only is it gentle on the body, but eating it also directly contributes to supporting agriculture in Hokkaido and reducing food waste—making it one of the most sought-after ethical gift sets in today's world. ■ Set contents: Three main flavors of 'industry-academia collaboration' that connect passion and the community Store Sales No.2: [Apple Flavor (Jointly developed by Sapporo International University Junior College)] Deliciously rescue 'non-standard apples' from Yoichi Town, Hokkaido, the city of fruit trees. Although the taste is top-notch, they lavishly use apples that cannot be marketed in shape or size, and with the fresh sensibilities of the students, we have created a fruity, sweet-tart, and hugely popular flavor. (Industry-Academia-Government-Finance-Agriculture-Welfare Collaboration Product) Cutting-edge intelligence: [Raspberry flavor (jointly developed with Hokkaido University)] Luxuriously used with top-quality "Hokkaido University Raspberry," a top-quality product in both taste and aroma, researched and developed by Japan's prestigious Hokkaido University.

(Industry-Academia-Government-Finance-Agriculture-Welfare Collaboration Product) Premium Exclusive: [Strawberry Flavor (jointly developed by Fuji Women's University)] Luxuriously using strawberries from Furano City, which are extremely rare even within Hokkaido and rarely distributed on Honshu. This limited flavor embodies the students' wish of Fuji Women's University students to "bring smiles to many people with Hokkaido's treasures," featuring a charming aroma and sweet-tart flavor. (Industry-Academia-Government-Finance-Agriculture-Welfare Collaboration Product) ■ Three major commitments (features) (1) Microwave for about 15 seconds. A warm texture with the aroma of freshly picked fruit blooming Before eating, just heat it briefly in the microwave (about 15 seconds at 1000W). The richness of moisture and butter gently spreads, creating an 'exquisite moist and fluffy texture' that leaves no dryness typical of rice flour. The juiciness and sweet-tart flavor of the fruit inside are instantly enhanced, reviving the excitement of freshly baked fruit. (2) Carefully selected northern fruits based × Hokkaido From the star rice flour to rich butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and honey, all the base ingredients are 100% sourced from Hokkaido. We lavishly combine carefully selected treasures from the northern land: Yoichi Apples, Hokkaido Raspberries, and Furano Strawberries. (3) Overwhelming storytelling: "Industry-academia-government-finance-agriculture-welfare collaboration" This set contains a very deep and heartwarming story that brings together universities, government agencies, financial institutions, local farmers, and long-standing welfare facilities (employment support) in Hokkaido. It's not just delicious—it's a product with clear added value that creates a community-friendly cycle when purchased. ■ Background of Birth With the desire to create truly delicious local sweets that everyone can eat with peace of mind and a smile, "Rice Flour Workshop" took about three years to develop. Along the path of this challenge, I met university students from Hokkaido who are working hard to solve local issues. Their pure passion for "not wasting delicious ingredients" and "wanting to energize the community" was deeply transformed by our rice flour masters into their serious craftsmanship, completing this northern trajectory. ■ Recommended for these shops and buyers Lifestyle and select shops in the 'Food & Ethical Gift Corner' A store that wants to support SDGs, food loss reduction, regional revitalization, and Hokkaido brand initiatives For stores where many customers prefer gluten-free and socially associated shopping For school-related events, mid-year gifts, year-end gifts, or special gifts with stories, *Photos are for illustrative purposes only. * Due to recent circumstances, packages may change without notice.
