Collaboration between former Japan national women's volleyball team member Saori Kimura and GARDEN HOUSE.
Bringing delicious and healthy sweets to your home!
The "gluten-free" pancake mix made with rice flour is now complete.

The inspiration for this product came from Saori Kimura's long-standing desire to "offer delicious and healthy food using quality ingredients."

Saori Kimura, who runs a cafe with her husband, has a keen interest in food. Drawing on her experiences as an athlete, she has engaged in various food-related activities.

In her personal life, Kimura is known for her love of dogs and cherishes her time with her three pets. This collaboration began with GARDEN HOUSE, a restaurant and cafe known for its terrace seating where customers can enjoy time with their pets. Their shared vision of creating something good led to this project.

Wanting to bring the sweets served at her cafe to more homes, Kimura collaborated with GARDEN HOUSE to develop a pancake mix as the first product. GARDEN HOUSE has been serving buttermilk pancakes since its opening, selling 2,000 servings per month, making it a popular menu item.

The "s/g KOME*PANCAKE MIX" is a gluten-free pancake mix based on rice flour.

It blends domestic rice flour with brown rice flour and soy flour. Using rice flour gives the pancakes a crispy exterior and a chewy texture compared to wheat flour. The blend of flours not only enhances the nutritional value but also adds a nutty flavor, making these gluten-free pancakes delicious even when eaten plain.

"Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, I want people to enjoy their time at home with delicious and fun food," says Kimura. The product was developed to be safe for people with wheat allergies and those mindful of their health.

Future developments include new flavors of pancake mixes and products with an athlete's perspective, such as scones and canelés. Check the sales site for more information.
