A transparent high-barrier film with an oxygen absorbing function was adopted for mochi.
Individually packed mochi can be kept in a deoxidized state for long and the moisture inside the mochi is retained. You can enjoy a taste of freshly pounded mochi just by opening it. No need to put oxygen absorbing sachets inside thereby reducing waste.
*“Nagamochi” means longer lasting in Japanese.
