Oisix Launches New Fiber-Rich Meal Kit to Support Gut Health This New Year

As the New Year approaches, many of us face the aftermath of festive feasting, often resulting in a lack of essential dietary fiber in our meals. To combat this issue, Oisix, a leading food subscription service in Japan, has announced the launch of a new meal kit that is as delicious as it is nutritious. Starting on January 8, 2026, customers can enjoy the 'Marouma! Pork and Abundant Vegetables Soymilk Miso Hot Pot', designed to provide 30g of fiber per serving for two people.

The new meal kit is backed by Metagen, a renowned company in gut health research, headquartered in Tsuruoka, Yamagata. Their expertise ensures that this dish not only pleases the palate but also supports the gut microbiome, promoting healthy eating habits while using a variety of fresh ingredients. The item is a part of Oisix’s broader lineup called 'Chonai Kankyo Gohan Kit', which focuses on improving gut health through thoughtful meal selections.

The Importance of Dietary Fiber

According to the latest Japanese dietary guidelines, adults are recommended to consume over 25g of dietary fiber daily. However, studies have shown that many people fall short of this target, especially during the holiday season when indulgent meals take precedence. Typical festive menus often lack the fiber-rich foods like whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, which are essential for digestive health.

To counter this trend, it’s important to consciously incorporate fiber-rich foods into daily diets. The 'Chonai Kankyo Gohan Kit' is an effortless way to achieve this, as it combines over five varieties of vegetables and includes more than ten grams of dietary fiber per meal. This initiative aligns with Metagen's mission of creating innovative health solutions by focusing on gut microbiome health through diets that are rich in essential nutrients.

Innovative Ingredients and Meal Preparation

The 'Marouma! Pork and Abundant Vegetables Soymilk Miso Hot Pot' not only satisfies hunger but also delights the taste buds. The kit contains fiber-rich ingredients such as sweet potatoes and various mushrooms. After enjoying the hot pot, the included noodles, crafted from a specially developed high-fiber flour called Amuria, allow consumers to indulge in a tasty miso ramen-style finish. With Amuria containing about five times the fiber compared to regular flour, it serves as a golden opportunity to enhance everyday meals with much-needed dietary fiber.

The meal kit is priced at ¥3,131 for two servings and will be available for a limited time from January 8 to January 15, 2026. Customers can conveniently order through Oisix's website, making it easy to incorporate healthy cooking into their busy schedules.

A Reflection of Changing Eating Habits

New Year festivities often disrupt regular eating patterns, leading to variations in dietary intake and eating times. This imbalance could create challenges for maintaining nutritious diets. By choosing meal kits like the one offered by Oisix, individuals can streamline meal preparation while making healthier choices—ensuring that dietary fiber intake is ample and diverse, even during busy periods.
