New Launch: Onishi Foods' Allergy-Friendly Rice

Onishi Foods Co., Ltd., renowned for its long-term storage foods, is set to release a new variant of their popular products. Starting June 1, 2026, the "Onishi's Range+ Allergy-Friendly Gomoku Rice" will hit the store shelves. This latest addition emphasizes safety and convenience for individuals with dietary restrictions, making it a great option for emergency food supplies as well as everyday meals.

What Makes It Special?

The original "Onishi's Allergy-Friendly Gomoku Rice" was launched in April 2020, featuring only high-quality Japanese uruchi rice as its base. It is crafted to be free from common allergens by carefully selecting ingredients that maintain a delightful flavor; notable here is the use of lotus root, which imparts a unique texture to the dish. The seasoning was also adjusted to avoid soy sauce made from soybeans or wheat, ensuring a safe eating experience.

With the new Range+ series, the Allergy-Friendly Gomoku Rice is now designed for versatile use. Not only is it a reliable choice during emergencies, but it is also suitable for daily consumption. The preparation of this rice is incredibly straightforward: add water or hot water, wait 60 minutes or 15 minutes respectively, or opt for a quick microwave method that requires a mere three minutes of heating followed by three minutes of steaming. This approach guarantees that users can enjoy flavorful rice effortlessly and swiftly.

The Range+ series is crafted to be stored in your kitchen pantry alongside pasta sauces and canned goods, making it an easy and convenient option for everyday dining. This accessibility makes it an ideal candidate for the 'rolling stock' method of emergency preparedness, emphasizing the importance of keeping supplies fresh and readily available.

The introduction of the Allergy-Friendly Gomoku Rice expands the Range+ series to a full lineup of eight variations. Other options include five-grain rice, chicken rice, mountain vegetable rice, dry curry, red rice, mushroom rice, and bamboo shoot rice.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

An environmentally conscious touch is included with Onishi's individual Alpha rice bags, which come with an eco-friendly spoon made from biomass-marked materials. This addition allows consumers to enjoy their rice without the need for additional utensils, promoting sustainable choices while contributing to a more eco-friendly society.

Commitment to Food Diversity

This product is not only allergy-conscious but also halal certified, approved by the Non-Profit Organization Japan Asia Halal Association. This ensures that the rice can cater to diverse food cultures, particularly valuable during times of uncertainty such as disasters.
