TETOTETO inc.’s upcycling brand “Budou no One Piece,” which makes use of grape skins, has begun sales through its official e-commerce site and wholesale channels.
The products use wine pomace generated in Yamanashi Prefecture.
Here are the details.
Wine pomace and “Budou no One Piece”
Wine pomace refers to grape skins and seeds left from the winemaking process.
It is rich in polyphenols, including resveratrol and anthocyanins also found in wine, as well as oleanolic acid, which does not transfer into wine. Yet more than 10,000 tons of wine pomace are said to be discarded annually in Yamanashi Prefecture and have not been widely used as food.
“Budou no One Piece” was created to turn this by-product into a new resource.
The grape skins are candied with sugar and processed into a snack while retaining their nutritional components.
About Enzan Granola
“Budou no One Piece” is made by candying grape skins left after winemaking.
Enzan Granola combines it with oats and almonds and bakes the mixture until aromatic.
The pomace comes from family winery Marusan Wine.
The result is a new-style granola with a crisp texture that is easy to keep snacking on and may also pair well with wine.
A snack Japanese-wine fans may want to watch.
