Under the pavilion’s theme, “Thinking about the lives through eating”, Glico has developed “Rice soft candy” by applying the soft-candy-making technology it has cultivated since its founding—using rice, Japan’s staple food, as the key ingredient. “Rice soft candy” will be offered free of charge to pavilion visitors exclusively within “EARTH MART”, starting from the End of May. The Glico Group will continue to share the value of Japanese food culture with the world and offer new ideas that contribute to “Healthier days, Wellbeing for life”.
