Agroludens Showcases Mycoprotein Innovations at TIB SHOP

Agroludens Inc., a Tokyo-based company specializing in mycoprotein derived from rice, has announced an exciting limited-time offering at "TIB SHOP" in Chiyoda, Tokyo, from October 1 to November 30, 2025. This initiative aims to promote product recognition and understanding directly with consumers, showcasing the potential of their unique product line.

The TIB SHOP is a vibrant hub located within the Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB), a startup support facility designed for companies to test market their products and engage with consumers. TIB serves as a nexus for startups and their supporters, focusing on fostering innovation in the heart of Tokyo. Agroludens will leverage this opportunity to introduce its rice-based fermented protein product, Comeat®, through various delectable offerings.

Among the items set for sale are delicious and sustainable options such as "Rice and Koji Meat Sauce," which serves as an ideal choice for busy weekday dinners, and the "Rice and Koji Keema Curry," a spice-rich curry free from animal ingredients. Additionally, customers can enjoy the "Whole Rice Bread," a gluten-free, allergen-free bread perfect for breakfast or snacks. Another highlight will be the "Rich Syrup Made from Rice," which showcases the natural sweetness from the fermented process.

Comeat® itself is a high-protein, low-fat, gluten-free product that caters to health-conscious individuals and those with dietary restrictions. This mycoprotein option is free from major allergens, promoting itself as a safe and delicious alternative for a wide range of consumers.

Agroludens’ CTO, Kiyotaka Saga, highlighted the significance of Comeat® during a presentation at TIB PITCH, stating, “Comeat® is created using domestically sourced rice and a traditional Japanese technique called solid fermentation with koji. It's a next-generation protein source and fermented food that we hope more people will experience as part of the future of food.” This innovative approach not only represents a sustainable protein source but also addresses the growing demand for environmentally friendly food options.
