AOHATA 55 Turns 55: A Jam-Packed Celebration of Flavor

AOHATA 55 Turns 55: A Jam-Packed Celebration of Flavor

Celebrating breakfast in Japan

By

It’s not every day a jam gets to celebrate a milestone, but AOHATA 55 is doing just that. After 55 years of spreading joy (literally) across Japan, they’re giving their low-sugar jam lineup a major refresh. Think new seasonal strawberry blends, eco-friendly stick packs, and a look that’s as fresh as the fruit inside.

Fresh Flavors for AOHATA 55, Season by Season

You know that feeling when strawberries just hit differently depending on the time of year? AOHATA gets it. That’s why they’re launching two new limited-edition strawberry jams tailored to Japan’s seasons:

  • Strawberry Refreshing Blend (Spring/Summer) — Light, zesty, and sweet-tart, like biting into summer itself. Shipping from February to August.
  • Strawberry Rich Blend (Autumn/Winter) — Think cozy, deep, and rich—perfect for chilly mornings. Available August to February.

This is the first time a jam in Japan has been crafted specifically to match seasonal vibes. It’s like Mother Nature herself whipped up a batch.

Bread’s New Best Friend

Turns out, 35% of Japanese breakfasts feature bread. AOHATA 55 figured, why not make a jam that feels like it was born to be slathered on thick, fluffy slices? The updated recipe boosts the aroma, fruit punch, and overall vibe when paired with bread. No offense to butter, but this jam might just steal the spotlight.

Packaging That Pops (And Protects)

AOHATA isn’t just updating what’s inside the jar. The outside’s getting a glow-up, too:

  • Cap: That bold blue? Inspired by the Seto Inland Sea, AOHATA’s birthplace.
  • Bottle: Subtle sparkles mimic sunlight on water—because who doesn’t want a little shimmer with breakfast?
  • Label: Big, juicy fruit illustrations make it easy to spot your favorite flavor.

Stick Jams: Jam, But Make It Portable

AOHATA gets that life isn’t all sit-down breakfasts. Enter: stick-type jams for on-the-go goodness. Whether you’re packing a bento or fueling up for a hike, these single-serve packets have you covered.
