The Rice Creamery×NINZIA's Mochi-Rich Waffle Ice Set Returns to Popular Demand

The Return of the Coveted Mochi-Rich Waffle Ice Set

NINZIA, headquartered in Kobe, has announced the much-anticipated return of the "Mochi-Rich Waffle Ice Set," a collaboration with The Rice Creamery. Following a successful initial launch that sold out quickly, the set is now back on the market, responding to numerous requests from fans eager for its return.

This delightful product was crafted to exemplify three core values: taste, health consciousness, and sustainability. NINZIA aims to provide a new choice that fits naturally into daily lifestyles, making indulgence both enjoyable and responsible.

A New Standard for Plant-Based Sweets

The Mochi-Rich Waffle Ice Set combines NINZIA's gluten-free waffles with The Rice Creamery's plant-based ice cream, primarily made from rice. It’s envisioned as a vegan option that does not compromise on flavor or satisfaction. This collaboration moves beyond the stereotype of allergen-friendly foods, positioning itself as an everyday dessert that appeals to everyone.

Innovative Gluten-Free Waffles with a Unique Texture

NINZIA employs its proprietary technology called "NinjaPaste," which uses ingredients like tofu, rice flour, konjac paste, and sake lees to create a delicious, gluten-free waffle. By excluding wheat, eggs, and dairy but enhancing texture through engineering, they've achieved a fluffiness that delights. Remarkably, 93% of taste testers did not even notice the absence of wheat. The waffles are designed to be both light and moist, offering a delightful mouthfeel.

Moreover, the innovative no-water method utilized in production retains the flavor integrity of the ingredients, resulting in a rich taste experience.

Convenient and Quality Preserved for Daily Enjoyment

The Mochi-Rich Waffle Ice Set is conveniently packaged for freezing, allowing consumers to take out only what they need, whenever they want. Simply warming them in a microwave or toaster can recreate the sensation of a freshly baked waffle. This makes it a perfect option for breakfast, snacks, or tea time, combining quality with ease of use.

Discover the Gentle Sweetness of Plant-Based Ice Cream

The Rice Creamery offers a unique plant-based ice cream made primarily from rice syrup sourced from domestic rice. This product embraces the gentle sweetness and smooth texture characteristic of rice. It’s plant-based and vegan, promising a satisfying taste experience while also reducing environmental impact by cutting greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional dairy ice creams.

Flavor Varieties include:

- Hono-Hana - The Original: This flavor highlights the natural sweetness and flavor of rice, evoking a sense of Japanese culinary heritage.
- Master’s Uji Matcha: Crafted with premium Uji matcha from a tea master, this offering brings together deep matcha flavors complemented by rice’s gentle sweetness.
- Elegant Dutch Chocolate: A representation of the rich history between Japan and chocolate, this flavor marries fragrant Dutch cocoa with a deep chocolate taste.

Each set includes two pieces of each flavor for a total of six units.

Development Background

NINZIA’s mission is to create a world where food constraints from issues like diabetes, obesity, and allergies no longer inhibit the enjoyment of eating. They explore the potential of konjac as a plant-based ingredient through technologist approaches they call "Texture Engineering." This collaboration with The Rice Creamery underscores their commitment to providing new value in the plant-based food sector. Moreover, they plan to relaunch this product again for the summer season in 2026.

A New Way to Enjoy: Waffle and Ice Cream Combination

The innovation of combining warm waffles with ice cream allows for a delightful contrast of temperatures, transforming desserts into a sensory experience. The waffles can also be cut and arranged in a parfait style, offering endless possibilities for enjoyment.
