■Message from Hikari Kogyo Co., Ltd.

In today's world of anxiety, having emergency food supplies provides peace of mind.

Disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons occur across the country every year, and disasters are no longer something far away for everyone. However, we believe that there are still insufficient stockpiles of emergency food in Japan, and we believe that people who are not particularly interested in emergency food or who are not targeted by major emergency food manufacturers can also find ways to provide emergency food. We believe that having even one item is socially significant. Based on this idea, we have created our first collaboration with Fist of the North Star, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, as an emergency food product. We have started a project with Makuake for this product in order to stimulate interest in emergency food through "Fist of the North Star" and to provide an opportunity for people to bring at least one emergency food.

What is Kurogane hard bread?

"Kurogane" is a word that means iron, and it is a sweet that was created at the government-run Yawata Steel Works (currently the Yawata District of the Kyushu Works of Nippon Steel Corporation) during the Taisho era. It was developed by the government-run Yawata Steel Works using carefully selected raw materials and a unique manufacturing method for the purpose of providing nutritional support to employees.In order to make it in large quantities and store it for a long time, the water content is minimized to make it as hard as iron. Ta. Currently manufactured by Spina Co., Ltd. (Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture). For the end-of-the-century preserved food ``Hokuto no Kata - Kurogane Kata Bread Cocoa Flavor'', we have adopted ``Kurogane Kata Bread Stick Type Cocoa Flavor,'' which is a sister product to this ``Kurogane Kata Bread'' and has a firm but gentle taste. In addition, in March 2008, Kurogane Kenbread was selected by the Kitakyushu Chamber of Commerce and Industry as a certified food brand among Kitakyushu's specialty products, and has been featured in many media such as TV, newspapers, and magazines. .

Because it is the most "hard" grade, it keeps you full.

The inside is very hard, so by chewing slowly and thoroughly, we were able to make it into a filling emergency food. It also has a mild cocoa flavor, so you can keep eating it without getting tired of it.
