| FUKUOKA, May 2 – JA Mii, a local agricultural cooperative in Fukuoka Prefecture, has developed a new series of sixth-industry products: Hibiki-brand cold-pressed juice. The Fukuoka-based JA plans to introduce the first-ever cold-pressed juice products from JAs nationwide in late June this year on YASITE, its e-store dedicated to fruit and vegetable sales.
Cold-pressed juice is extracted by a slow and firm pressing process that avoids applying heat to vegetables. This method prevents oxidation and ensures the maximum retention of enzymes, vitamins, and other nutrients. As the process removes insoluble fibers, the juice is gentle on your stomach and the nutrients are efficiently absorbed by your cells. JA Mii’s cold-pressed juice comes in three flavors: Komatsuna Green, Beet Yellow, and Beet Red. Komatsuna Green is made from Japanese mustard spinach, grown and harvested in the morning by the JGAP-certified JA Komatsuna Producers Group. Beet Yellow and Beet Red are made of golden and red beets, respectively, grown in Kurume City by Narahara Vegetable Garden, without animal composts or chemical fertilizers. All are sweetener-free, coloring-free, and preservative-free, and offer the vegetables’ vibrant colors and robust flavors, so you can enjoy the true essence of these ingredients at home.
