Ohtaka Superfood®

For more than 90 years, the Ohtaka® name has been synonymous with traditional Japanese wellness. Founded by fermentation pioneer Noboru Ohtaka, the company developed one of Japan’s most respected fermented nutritional tonics, enjoyed daily by devoted consumers for generations. Modern analysis has since revealed that Ohtaka® is naturally rich in ceramides, a key phytonutrient associated with healthy, youthful-looking skin.

Ohtaka Superfood® is crafted from more than 45 fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, mushrooms, and sea vegetables. These whole-food ingredients are chopped, blended, and placed into traditional cedar fermentation barrels, where they naturally mature over several months while being exposed to the changing conditions of all four seasons in Hokkaido, Japan. The result is the legendary Ohtaka Superfood® fermented liquid enjoyed by consumers throughout Japan.

To produce Ohtaka Superfood® Powder, the fermented liquid is carefully separated from the remaining whole-food matrix. This nutrient-rich superfood cake is then milled into a fine, carrier-free powder that retains the nutritional diversity of the original fermented ingredients. A validated prebiotic ideal for any beauty from with or healthy aging formulation, Ohtaka Superfood® delivers an authentic Japanese fermentation story unlike any other ingredient in the marketplace.
