The “AN-TUBE” is a new dog pet food (treat) that focuses on the traditional Japanese confectionery “anko.” It is manufactured using naturally derived ingredients without artificial additives or preservatives. Additionally, it is considerate of gluten and grains, employing simple ingredients and methods to deliver a safe, healthy, and enjoyable new Japanese-style confectionery pet food. The concept aims to provide a unique product that is both safe and fun. “1ANKO WANCO no ANKO” is a new brand founded in December 2022. Our base of operations, Osaka Sakai, is a charming city with a rich culture and tradition, including the Nintoku-ryo tumulus, Sen no Rikyu, and Sakai knives. We incorporate this charm into the development of pet food and items, with the intention of making them widely familiar and passing this heritage on to future generations. This project began due to our concerns for the health of our own beloved dogs. Many commercial pet foods contain numerous additives and preservatives, leading us to worry about their impact on dogs’ health. Thus, we focused on the traditional Japanese health food “anko” and aimed to create a special confectionery that dogs could also enjoy. “AN-TUBE” not only brings fun and health to dogs but also helps strengthen the bond between owners and their pets. By using indigestible oligosaccharides instead of refined sugar, it helps improve the gut environment that is gaining attention for its prebiotic benefits, making it safe for dogs concerned about obesity and blood sugar levels. Moreover, by utilizing food-derived natural ingredients, we have achieved the manufacturing of genuinely human-grade dog anko. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives, and is also gluten and grain-free. Rich in nutrients and dietary fiber, it excels in digestion and hydration due to its wet food form, making it suitable for dogs of all ages. The outer packaging is designed with the concept of a kaleidoscope, using traditional Japanese paper tubes. The top and bottom of the paper tubes are made of transparent material, allowing the colorful contents to be visible and enjoyed visually like a kaleidoscope. “AN-TUBE” offers five varieties of anko flavors: Koshian, Black Sesame, Cranberry, Pumpkin, and Green Tea (Caffeine-Free), providing nutrient-rich anko that supports dog health. The retort pouch’s small packaging is also convenient for taking meals out or as a portable snack during outings. It can be stored at room temperature for a long period, making it useful as emergency food or disaster food.
