If you value both your children's health and your own beauty, then make Marusan-Ai soy milk a delicious and nutritious habit!

Hello! I'm Rie Tsugita, CEO of TOFUlly. It's been a while since my last update, but I'm back with a new TOFUlly JOURNAL post.

TOFUlly is a brand that started because of my extraordinary love for tofu and soymilk. In my early twenties, I was thin and unhealthy, but my condition improved dramatically after I started eating tofu and soymilk every day. Now, I consider tofu and soymilk my "saviors"!

 

As stated on TOFUlly's product page, tofu and soymilk are packed with essential nutrients for both beauty and health, including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and soy isoflavones. Even okara, a byproduct of making tofu and soymilk, still retains many of these nutrients.

However, the reality is that okara is discarded as industrial waste. Furthermore, I learned around 2021, before I developed TOFUlly, that the tofu makers who produce my beloved tofu and soymilk were struggling with disposal costs!

"How could they throw away okara, which is full of good things for beauty and health?" "How could tofu makers be suffering?" "Since it's good for beauty, I want to apply it to my skin too!" That's how TOFUlly came to be: we developed the world's first okara extract and turned it into cosmetics. (A quick review of our history.)

 

Even now that I've completely bulked up and am nothing but healthy, I still maintain the habit of eating tofu, soymilk, or okara every day. When I accidentally forget, I sometimes feel unwell, thinking, "Oh, I didn't eat any tofu today."

 

Almost every day, miso soup with tofu, or just plain tofu, or some form of it appears on our dinner table. But recently, my second son has become incredibly picky... and he's stopped eating tofu.

Sometimes he shows symptoms of lacking vitamins and minerals, like saying "I feel dizzy~", or getting canker sores, or white spots on his nails. I've been thinking I need to do something about this, but months have passed as I've been too busy with daily life to come up with creative meals.

Finally, I found a solution!

 

It's this!

Marusan-ai's "Hitotsu Ue no Tonyu" (Superior Soymilk)! Of course, their "Organic Unadjusted Soymilk" is also delicious, but my picky second son is completely hooked on the Amaou strawberry, peach, Japanese chestnut, and cocoa flavors!

 

What's great about this "Hitotsu Ue no Tonyu" isn't just the variety of flavors, but also how delicious the soymilk itself is! Even my picky second son says the plain "Hitotsu Ue no Tonyu" without flavoring is delicious and gulps it down. My eldest son, who isn't particularly fond of soymilk, also gulps it down.

 

Apparently, there's a secret to its deliciousness: they use domestic premium soybeans specifically suited for soymilk, which do not contain the enzyme (lipoxygenase) that causes the grassy smell in soybeans, nor the astringent component (Group A acetyl saponin), even among domestic soybeans! This domestic premium soybean is a variety called "Ruriko Sayaka®" unique to Marusan.

 

 

With a delicious soymilk base and flavors like white peach that children love, it's a real scramble among the family to get it.

 

And what I really want to emphasize is its nutritional value!

Energy: 122 kcal
Protein: 10.3 g
Fat: 7.2 g
- Saturated fatty acids: 0.9 g
Cholesterol: 0 mg
Carbohydrates: 4.1 g
Salt equivalent: 0 g
Zinc: 1.0 mg
Potassium: 481 mg
Calcium: 22 mg
Iron: 1.3 mg
Magnesium: 68 mg
Isoflavones: 72 mg

10.3g of protein is great! Even for those who don't work out, collagen is made of protein, so it's definitely essential for beauty.

Furthermore, it's reassuring that the amounts of potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, and isoflavones are clearly listed. It's wonderful that it can supplement what my second son is lacking.

 

When I posted about Marusan-ai's "Hitotsu Ue no Tonyu" on social media, everyone showed a lot of interest, and I received many DMs asking, "Where can I buy it?"

Unfortunately, it wasn't available at my nearest supermarket, but I did find it at Aeon and other stores. It might be a good idea to buy it online. It would be disappointing if the flavor you want is sold out, after all.

It's good for beauty, excellent for nutritional supplementation, and above all, delicious! As a tea lover, I tried the tea flavor first, but honestly, every flavor was delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite because they were all so good. If you're interested, I encourage you to try all the flavors.

 

Those who use TOFUlly will probably recognize this, but another great point about "Hitotsu Ue no Tonyu" is that its straw is a biomass straw!

TOFUlly's bottles also use biomass plastic, so that's a commonality. I also found the environmental consideration to be appealing.

 

So, to simultaneously achieve family health and personal beauty, please try Marusan-ai's "Hitotsu Ue no Tonyu"—it's simply delicious!

 

I also look forward to your "I drank it!" messages via Instagram DM :)
