Discover the New Bama Hemp Nut Furikake: A Healthy Delight for Daily Nutrition

New Addition to Omega Point Series: Bama Hemp Nut Furikake

The ever-popular Omega Point product line has introduced an exciting new item: Bama Hemp Nut Furikake. This innovative topping is designed to make nutrition both accessible and delicious, offering a simple way to enhance meals with essential nutrients. The product will be available from June 20, 2026, in packages containing 20g each in a set of 10 for a retail price of 5,000 yen (excluding tax), with a shelf life of two years.

A Deep-rooted Connection to Hemp

Hemp has been a fundamental part of human life for centuries, utilized not just for fabric but as a food source as well. In Japan, hemp seeds are a key ingredient in shichimi togarashi (seven spice blend), and they have recently gained popularity as a superfood due to their high nutritional value and balance of essential fatty acids.

At Glory International Co., Ltd., a company with a keen focus on harnessing the potential of hemp, is inspired by the Bama region of China, known as one of the world's five longevity villages. Here, local inhabitants enjoy indigenous varieties of the hemp seed known as Hima (火麻), using both the seeds and oil in their everyday cuisine. This geographical and cultural connection enriches the product's story as it integrates ancient wisdom into modern dietary practices.

Nutritional Benefits of Hemp Nuts

Hima nuts, in particular, have seen a rise in popularity for their ability to supply omega-3 fatty acids, which are increasingly lacking in many people's diets. These nuts are carefully harvested and processed into Bama hemp nuts, boasting an ideal balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making them an excellent source of plant-based nutrition that’s easy to incorporate into daily meals.

Since 2014, Glory International has been pioneering the sale of non-heat processed hemp nuts, addressing a niche market that values the nutritional benefits of hemp. Feedback from consumers has highlighted the unique, moist texture and delightful taste of Bama hemp nuts, making them a preferred choice over products from other regions.

Innovative Offerings

In 2020, the company expanded its product line with a hemp protein bar made with allergen-free, plant-based ingredients, ensuring it catered to a wide range of dietary requirements, particularly those avoiding gluten.

In 2025, Glory International introduced “Takumi” hemp charcoal salt, a blend of domestically processed hemp stalks and Japanese sea salt, which has quickly gained traction among health-conscious individuals.

A Convenient New Format

The newest product, Bama Hemp Nut Furikake, represents the culmination of Glory International's substantial investment in the hemp food sector. Addressing the previously noted issue of bulk storage, Bama Hemp Nut Furikake comes in a convenient 20g single-serving size, allowing for easy portability and ensuring that users can add a nutritious touch to their meals on the go.

Based on customer feedback that indicated a desire for an easy sprinkle product akin to sesame salt, the product has been carefully developed to feature a balanced, mildly salty flavor that complements rice and can even be enjoyed solo as a snack or with beverages. The authentic taste and moistness unique to hemp nuts make this furikake an enticing addition to anyone's kitchen.

With a commitment to quality, Glory International emphasizes the importance of using natural principles in their food production. All products adhere to the “seven free” philosophy: free from flavoring agents, artificial sweeteners, white sugar, preservatives, anti-rotting agents, colorings, and animal-derived materials. This dedication to purity and minimal processing ensures that customers receive the full benefit of nature’s bounty in every bite.

Conclusion

The launch of Bama Hemp Nut Furikake marks an exciting milestone in the journey of Glory International in elevating the nutritional profile of everyday food while maintaining convenience and taste. Through over a decade of innovation in the Omega Point range, customers are invited to experience the many delights and benefits that hemp has to offer as part of their daily diet.
