Nowadays, not only earthquakes but also heavy rains and typhoons require constant awareness of disaster prevention. We would like to introduce products that are steadily increasing sales while emergency food that can respond to various situations is required.


"Agricultural Cooperative Drinkable Rice" is a grain drink developed by JA Kita Osaka from the actual experience of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. It is a liquid food type that is made by cooking ingredients such as rice, adlay, and azuki beans with a good texture, and it does not require heating or cooking, and is characterized by being able to be drunk immediately after opening.



This time, I tried three types of flavors: plum kelp flavor, cinnamon flavor, and cocoa flavor. It has a grainy texture and a strong sweetness of rice and azuki beans, giving it an image similar to that of canned shiruko. Personally, Ume Konbu was the best, but children seem to like cocoa. None of them are praised as "delicious!", But they are not too sweet and you can drink them at room temperature without any discomfort.


Since chewing is almost unnecessary and no allergen-specific raw materials are used, it is a great merit that everyone can drink with confidence even in a family with elderly people and children. Also, the fact that it can be stored for a long period of 5 years in a can may be good for people who want to reduce the frequency of inspections.

You can purchase it at stores or online shops in the JA Kita-Osaka area, but you can also purchase it by yourself as well as by companies and local governments (see the JA Kita-Osaka website for details). Recently, a dedicated vending machine has also appeared at JA Kitaosaka Naka Branch. Why not consider it as a new type of emergency food?
