Until I had my first son, I was in my mid-30s, working all the time and taking the last train home.

According to the childcare guidebook, a little before one year of age, the child enters the ``kami-kami period'', a period when the child has finished weaning food, and it is the time to practice chewing food using the gums in the back of the child's mouth. I don't know what to do since I've never cooked casually before.

For now, I mixed some chopped vegetables in the refrigerator, grated Koya tofu, and powdered dried sardines into a commercially available pancake mix, and then mixed it without adding any seasonings. I tried giving him something baked.

Then, the bugs started eating so much that it became interesting, so I decided not only to feed them inside the house, but also to carry around the "baked food" in an airtight container and give it outside.

I remember how the babies and mothers around me froze when I saw her, with lots of spilled food in her apron pocket, as she grabbed it with her hands and shoved it into her mouth one after another.

As each day went by, I suddenly started to become curious about the ingredients used in commercially available pancake mixes, such as flavorings and coloring agents. yeah? I'm not sure, but all pancake mixes have the same pungent smell and taste.

My anxiety grows and I think I'll go to a natural foods store and try making my own.

However, it is difficult to enter a small natural food store with a stroller, diapers, baby food, and milk. From that experience, I thought I'd like to try making Ultra Mix.

Rare domestic (Hokkaido) buttermilk pancakes

In Europe and America, it is said that adding buttermilk, a by-product of butter manufacturing, to baked goods creates a rich, moist, and deeply delicious flavor.

Isn't it available in Japan?

I walked around the company while holding my son, who was in the midst of an unpleasant period.

During a meeting with a company I was lucky enough to talk to, I knocked over all the decorations in the reception room and started crying out loud. I walked around throwing paper napkins from other tables in the store one after another.

We caused a lot of trouble for many people, but the sales staff told us the good news: ``You can get domestically produced (Hokkaido) buttermilk,'' but ``because the production volume is small, we can't sell it to major companies.'' has entered.

Development began, and in 2006 ULTRAMIX, a pancake mix containing buttermilk from Hokkaido, was born.

It's definitely moist and chewy. You can eat it easily even without a drink.
As soon as you pour the batter into the frying pan, the aroma of butter hits your nose.

He tested the prototypes over and over again, adjusting the taste and finish.
Even though I am not good at cooking, I can make pancakes without fail.

Since there are no flavorings or colorings used, my mom friends told me that this is how the wheat originally tasted, and that the smell of real butter was irresistible.

For the package, I decided to draw a large picture of my son's face.
