“And OHU” is an eco-friendly skin care product jointly developed with Fermenstation Co., Ltd. that upcycles unused resources such as natural materials and by-products from Tohoku.

Sales Background JA Iwate Hanamaki Review
JA Iwate Hanamaki recommends that producers in the Hanamaki area produce millet alongside rice, wheat and soybeans, and are working to create a millet-producing area.
JA Green Service Hanamaki Pro Nomu Hanamaki Business Headquarters is a subsidiary of JA Green Service Co., Ltd. and is responsible for the processing, distribution and sales of the millet produced, and sells it in JA Iwate Hanamaki directly-operated stores and other directly-operated stores nationwide .
This time, the oil extracted from “Nuka” of “Hie” produced in Hanamaki, a millet-producing area, is used in Yakuodo Co., Ltd.’s original skin care products and launched. We have started selling it to make it widely known and used. When it comes to “millet”, it is usually cooked and eaten with rice, but with the slogan “beautiful body and skin”, it has gained new practical value by understanding new aspects as a cosmetic raw material. I hope that through the birth, the enthusiasm of the producers will be increased and the production will be expanded.

◆ Review past activities
Comments from Rina Sakai, CEO of Fermenstation Co., Ltd.
I’m always happy to see OHU’s products and the faces of other producers lined up in a pharmacy booklet. Many who picked up the product happily said they liked the fragrance, the fluffy lather, the feel on the skin, and were satisfied with the moisturizing effect. While experiencing the benefits of raw materials such as fermented rice and sunflower oil, I feel that it is due to the abundant nature of the Tohoku. Also, we have received comments that we are using unused resources in the Northeast, and we have selected and purchased products based on the producer’s feelings about the environment and the region. I want to spread it on the product.
Comments on Sunflower Oil Producer Oigawa Kokuki
The fun of going to the pharmacy has increased!
“I’m glad I made some locally produced cosmetics,” an acquaintance said. “I bought it because I thought it contained sunflower oil from Ishiwa (Oshu, Iwate Prefecture).”
I want you to learn more about the fact that local products are such wonderful cosmetics.
Comments from Koichi Saigo, Director, Managing Executive Director and Sales Manager of Yakodo Co., Ltd.
Hearing the impressions of customers who have actually used and OHU’s products, as well as the reactions inside and outside the company, I once again experienced the beauty of raw materials from local producers that I didn’t know about before.
In this initiative, we were able to create new possibilities for raw materials by using local raw materials to manufacture eco-friendly cosmetics, while employees’ awareness of SDGs has also changed.
Thank you Mr. Sakai for giving me this opportunity, for his feelings about the environment, for the local producers for the region, and for the support of our customers.

◆ The origin of the “and OHU” name and logo
origin of name
The six prefectures in the Tohoku region are called “Ou”. Named “and OHU”, it hopes to create value for products by using materials grown in various counties, environmental protection, natural circulation, and connecting with users. I did it.
Origin of the logo
Since it is a brand that uses only natural materials from 6 counties in the northeast, the image is that 6 circles are connected to each county to form a single product with a simple design and a nut-themed.
◆ Our thoughts
Our philosophy is Local x Environment x Manufacturing.
By effectively utilizing the abundant unused resources of the Tohoku
“I want to make products that are gentle on the planet and on human skin (hypoallergenic, naturally derived ingredients)”
“I want to deepen my relationship with local agriculture and manufacturing through product development.”
Based on this feeling, we are working on product development.
In addition, by using this product, not only Tohoku, but also Tohoku
We hope this will be a stepping stone to contribute to the global environment.

◆ Introduction of main raw materials
①Organic Rice (Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture) Organic Rice Moromi Extract/Organic Rice Ethanol*
A cosmetic raw material obtained by fermenting and distilling organic JAS rice grown by rice farmers in Oshu City using our unique manufacturing technology. It has a mellow texture derived from rice, a light rice aroma and functions derived from fermentation. Rice is grown on fallow land, and the distiller’s grains produced during the production of raw materials are also used as feed for cattle and chickens, which are carefully used and recycled without waste.
*(Aspergillus/Saccharomyces)/fermented rice extract, ethanol
②Sunflower (Oshu, Iwate Prefecture) sunflower oil
Bathed in the sun, the sunflowers bloomed into the sky. As a fertilizer for sunflower fields, we use chicken manure from chickens that feed on the fermented distiller’s grains left over from the production of organic rice ethanol, and cultivate with pesticide-free and chemical-free fertilizers. Squeeze at your local oil workshop.
③ Hienuka (from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture) Hienuka Oil
Iwate Prefecture, Japan’s largest millet producing area. As a grain rich in dietary fiber and minerals, barnyard tares, which has attracted much attention as a superfood, is made into an oil that can be used as a cosmetic ingredient, commercializing skin care products for the first time with OHU.
