OHHIRA-KO
- Food Products
Fermented extract made from 92 plant-based ingredients and 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria, carefully fermented over a 5-year period
Japan has become the world's leading longevity nation, with one in five people now aged 65 or older. In this rapidly aging society, the desire to stay healthy is stronger than ever. At BioBank, we support this wish through our range of health products, especially our food supplements.
OHHIRA-KO is a plant-based fermented paste made with Japanese vegetables, fruits, seaweeds, and mushrooms, fermented using lactic acid bacteria. This product uses the same five-year fermented paste found in BioBank’s signature OM-X DELUXE 5, carefully bottled in its original, unprocessed form.
Harnessing the power of 92 seasonal, plant-based ingredients grown in Japan’s rich natural environment, and fermented with 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria over five years, OHHIRA-KO offers the full benefits of long-term natural fermentation.
What sets OHHIRA-KO apart is its three-fold bioactive synergy:
-
Probiotics – delivering live beneficial bacteria
-
Prebiotics – nourishing your own good bacteria
-
Postbiotics – providing beneficial substances produced by bacteria
Together, these functions support overall gut health, immunity, and vitality. In addition to its deep brown functional pigments and a wide range of nutrients, OHHIRA-KO is packed with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, oligosaccharides, and organic acids essential for well-being.
OHHIRA-KO is crafted without any heat processing. Unlike many modern fermented foods and enzyme drinks that undergo heat treatment, OHHIRA-KO is produced using a traditional, natural fermentation method that does not involve heating. Heat can destroy valuable nutrients and kill beneficial bacteria, but our method preserves both. This ensures that the living lactic acid bacteria remain intact, and the nutrients generated through fermentation are delivered in their purest, most potent form.
Each jar is filled with care at our in-house facility, using our treasured fermented extract that has been aged for five years. We bottle the unprocessed paste just as it is—straight from the fermentation tank—preserving the full power of fermentation and live lactic acid bacteria without any additional processing. To ensure maximum freshness and quality, we produce each batch to order.
Many of our loyal OM-X customers have expressed a desire to take more of our product. With just one spoonful of OHHIRA-KO (2–5g), you can enjoy the equivalent of 5–10 OM-X capsules.
This fermented paste contains over 90 types of rich plant-based ingredients from both the land and the sea, as well as a variety of live probiotics, including lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. With just a spoonful, you can experience a potent dose of fermentation power.
