Beef curry was certified by JAXA as Japanese Space Food in June 2007, developed especially for Japanese astronauts who have long-term stays at ISS. Fortified with turmeric and calcium, these meals in outer space are formulated differently than on the ground. The sense of taste is different from the ground and changes when in a zero-gravity spacecraft, so food is given more spicy and stronger flavors.

• • Increased turmeric: *Two times stronger than regular House Foods products
• • Increased calcium: 250mg per package *Regular ready-made curry packages contain 20mg per 100g
• • Vitamin D, soy isoflavones added
• • House Foods spiciness level: equivalent to level 4 (hot)

Red bean paste is originally a food that has a long shelf life. In addition to combining traditional techniques and new technological developments, the strict management of the quality of ingredients, conditions such as temperature and time of making the paste as well as package-filling, make long-term preservation possible.

The umami of Uji matcha tea powder is added to the richness of specially selected Japanese domestic tea leaves and is processed by spray-drying to create a refreshing flavor. It dissolves quickly in cold or hot water and can be easily enjoyed for relaxing moments in outer space.
