Long-established Products
Azuki bar (1973)
Could Azuki cooking technology be used to make a new ice cream-like frozen sweet Azuki porridge? ? This idea led us to make the prototype of Azuki bar. Simple primary ingredients (sugar, Azuki beans, corn syrup, cornstarch, and salt), without any additives, can offer natural Azuki taste and deliciousness.
Nikuman and Anman (1964)
Japanese steamed buns consisting of dough, made from wheat flour, water, sugar, yeast, and baking powder, are filled with a variety of kinds of tasty filling. Thanks to your support, the year 2019 marked the 55th anniversary of our Nikuman and Anman. We currently produce various unique products, including a high-quality steamed bun series, “Gold Nikuman,” and pork-free soy buns, “Daizu Meat-man.”
Yude-Azuki (1962)
Yude-Azuki is Imuraya’s first canned product. Simmering Yude-Azuki in hot water allows you to make sweet Azuki porridge easily, which resulted in Yude-Azuki becoming a huge hit. Yude-Azuki canned in a special No.4 can, released in 1966, has been loved by many customers. Currently, the package presentation is being transitioned from the canned type to the pouch type.
Ball Ice Dessert (1972)
Called “Melon Ball,” this series was first launched with the melon flavor in 1972, when melon was still expensive. Imuraya’s development team came up with the idea to make melon-flavored sherbet so that children could feel as if they were eating real melon. The current three flavors are melon, peach, and watermelon. This series is perfect for children and older people because of its soft texture that is easy to scoop with a spoon.
Taiyaki Ice Cream (Azuki wafer ice cream) (1986)
This ice cream wafer in a cute Tai-yaki shape is still loved by many people even 30 years after its release. Imuraya’s original rich but not-so-sweet Azuki paste makes a good combination with a crispy wafer. You can enjoy the chocolate coating inside the wafer, which adds accents of taste and crunchy texture. You may be so lucky that your Taiyaki Ice Cream is winking!
