J-Oil Mills Inc. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President, CEO: Yuichiro Haruyama) will change the brand name of its edible oil series "Smart Green Pack®," which uses paper carton containers, to "Kami Raku Pack" to more clearly communicate product features and convenience. The new package design will be sequentially released nationwide starting September 14, 2026 (Monday)."Kami Raku Pack" SeriesIn response to the growing demand for appropriately sized packaging that can be used up within 1-2 months after opening, we are expanding the lineup of 500g sizes within the "Kami Raku Pack" series. We will launch JOYL "AJINOMOTO Brand Kome Toyomi Oil" 500g, JOYL "AJINOMOTO Brand Sararasara® Canola Oil" 500g, and JOYL "AJINOMOTO Brand Double Half" 500g.■ Brand Name Change from "Smart Green Pack®" to "Kami Raku Pack"Since 2021, our company has been offering the edible oil "Smart Green Pack®" using paper carton containers. This series features a double cap that allows users to choose the pouring amount according to their needs, making it easy to pour without dripping. It also has excellent storage capacity due to its square container design that is easy to organize. Furthermore, by using materials with excellent oxygen barrier and light-shielding properties, the flavor and taste of the oil can be preserved. In addition, compared to conventional plastic containers of the same capacity, it reduces plastic usage by over 60% and CO2 emissions by over 26%*. It also contributes to waste reduction by being foldable into a compact size after use for disposal.*Note: Calculated by our company. Compared to conventional plastic containers of the same capacity.To convey these features more intuitively, we are changing the brand name of "Smart Green Pack®" to "Kami Raku Pack." The name "Kami Raku Pack" clearly expresses the "raku" (easy) features experienced in various situations of using edible oil, such as "raku" because it's easy to pour, "raku" because it doesn't drip, "raku" because it's light and easy to carry, "raku" for storage because it's compact, and "raku" because it can be folded and discarded after use.In conjunction with the brand name change, the package design has also been revamped. To make it easier to identify the type of oil when stored or viewed from the back, we have applied color coding for each oil type, such as blue for basic oil products, brown for sesame oil products, and green for olive oil products.Color Coding on the Back of "Kami Raku Pack"■ Expansion of 500g Size LineupIn recent years, "size and capacity that can be used up" has become an increasingly important factor when purchasing edible oil. Our company recommends using the oil within 1-2 months after opening, and our survey* showed that approximately 40% of consumers responded that they want to choose a capacity that can be used up within 1-2 months after opening. Furthermore, since many consumers consider 600g or less to be a capacity that can be used up within the recommended period, we have expanded our lineup of 500g sizes, which are easier to use up, to meet these needs.*Note: Survey conducted by our company in March 2026 (Survey target: 14,107 women aged 30-70).(From left) JOYL "AJINOMOTO Brand Kome Toyomi Oil" 500g, JOYL "AJINOMOTO Brand Sararasara® Canola Oil" 500g, JOYL "AJINOMOTO Brand Double Half" 500g.Newly added JOYL "AJINOMOTO Brand Kome Toyomi Oil" is a cooking oil that blends rice oil, characterized by its light aftertaste, with soybean oil, characterized by its richness, pursuing a balance of lightness and richness in flavor.
