History of Morinaga's Infant Formulas

Aiming to produce formulas as similar to breast milk as possible

Morinaga "Hagukumi" Dry Infant Formula is a formula produced as a result of our consistent research over many years, aiming to create a formula that is as similar to breast milk as possible, which is the ideal nutrition for infants. The name "Hagukumi" means "nurturing," and it is packed with Morinaga Milk Industry's wish for babies' sound growth.
We also have the new Morinaga "E-AKACHAN" Peptide Infant Formula, which was made with consideration on milk allergens. Thus, we will continually provide support for mothers' sense of security and babies' healthy development.
