Our Commitments
1. Premium Ingredients for Unmatched Quality
ORIZURU is made from pesticide-free, chemical-free barley leaves grown on dedicated farms in Oita, Kyushu, ensuring that every sip is as pure as nature intended. But that’s just the beginning—ORIZURU goes beyond by combining eight meticulously selected ingredients, including proteoglycan-rich salmon nasal cartilage extract and Tokedoroko powder, which contains Yamaimo, to deliver exceptional beauty and health benefits.

3. Raw Squeezing Method – Pure, Potent, and Preserved
Our special ‘non-heated, raw squeezing method’ ensures that the enzyme activity in the barley leaves is preserved in powder form. This innovative process locks in the vital nutrients and enhances absorption, making ORIZURU easier to drink and more effective than traditional Aojiru.
4. Beauty and Health in Every Cup
ORIZURU’s blend of biotin, vitamins E, C, and B6, along with yomogi and coix seed extract, targets beauty from within. Whether it’s glowing skin, healthier hair, or overall vitality, ORIZURU gives you the tools to nourish your body and feel your best.
5. Designed for Easy Absorption – No Compromise on Taste
We use a special extract powder, removing unnecessary fibers and leaving only the essential components of barley leaves. The result? A smooth, easy-to-drink Aojiru that retains maximum nutrients without the bitterness, providing a refreshing taste you’ll love.

Ingredients sourced from true care

1. Barley Leaves with Outstanding Nutritional Balance
From a health perspective, we have carefully selected barley leaves that are not only easy to drink but also highly nutritious. Barley leaves are packed with enzymes, flavonoids, and chlorophyll, offering an ideal nutritional balance.

2. Delivering the Power of Raw Ingredients
Research shows that barley leaves have higher enzyme activity compared to other green vegetables. To maximize the benefits of these enzymes, we’ve adopted a unique 'non-heated raw squeezing' method. This process preserves the enzyme activity, ensuring that the fresh juice from barley leaves is turned into powder while retaining its vital nutrients—making it truly a “raw” Aojiru.

3. 100% Domestically Grown Without Pesticides, From Carefully Selected Varieties
We use barley leaves from a rare variety that closely resembles the original strain. This variety is taller and has softer young leaves, making it perfect for Aojiru production. It’s so rare that it’s not available for general sale, and its cultivation is carefully protected.

4. Commitment from Farm to Quality Control
Our barley leaves are cultivated under strict supervision on farms in Oita Prefecture. The soil is enriched with compost and tilled multiple times to ensure a healthy foundation. No pesticides are detected in our products, and we maintain a fully integrated process from cultivation to processing and quality control.

5. Craftsmanship and Expertise
Growing barley leaves requires significant time and care, along with the expertise and dedication of skilled farmers. From autumn to spring, our craftsmen head out to the fields early in the morning to monitor growth and tend to the crops with meticulous attention.
Unmatched Craftmanship
We create our Aojiru using a "raw squeezing" technique. This method preserves the enzymes by not applying heat, allowing the fresh nutrients of barley leaves to remain intact. The vitamins and minerals in barley leaves are sensitive to heat, so by processing them into powder without heating, we ensure the enzymes stay alive.
The nutrients in barley leaves are encased in tough fibers, making them difficult to absorb as they are. By extracting the raw juice and removing the fibers, the nutrients become more effectively absorbable.
ORIZURU's Production Process
Harvesting:
Fresh, pesticide-free domestic barley leaves are transported directly to the factory.
Washing:
The leaves are thoroughly cleaned with pure underground water.
Crushing & Juicing:
The leaves are crushed to make nutrient extraction easier, then juiced using a screw press.
Concentration & Cooling:
The juice is concentrated and cooled to preserve the nutrients.
Low-Temperature Spray Drying:
The raw juice is powdered through low-temperature spray drying, preserving enzymes and beneficial components.
Formulation, Filling, and Packaging:
The product is made under strict quality control, ensuring safety and quality throughout the process.
