WORLD'S LEANEST SUSHI
Ready-to-Serve.
Great taste!

KIKO Zero-Carb Sushi Base offers a rice-free, full-flavor sushi experience – without the carbs or extra calories.

In a taste test with 118 participants, 90.4% rated the flavor as “Very Good” or “Excellent
 – giving it 4 or 5 stars. This innovative, zero-carb sushi base contains just 2 calories per piece (9 kcal / 100 g) and fits every diet. Delicious and high in fiber – KIKO keeps you satisfied for longer.

At the heart of KIKO is konjac – a traditional Japanese plant that’s fiber-rich, gut-friendly, and virtually calorie-free.

Konjac farming is far more sustainable than rice – using less water and producing no methane.

And best of all – it tastes amazing! Seasoned with Japanese Tamanoi rice vinegar and sea salt, KIKO brings authentic sushi flavor with no carbs.

ZERO for Cola – KIKO for Sushi!

KIKO is a proud winner of a 2024 Grand Prix Innovation Award at SIAL Paris – the world’s leading Food & Beverage event – selected from over 2,200 entries from 54 countries. This marked our breakthrough on the global stage.

Horribly Healthy

The main ingredient, konjac fiber, carries multiple health claims approved by both the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The soluble fiber in KIKO helps manage cholesterol by removing excess from the body. As part of a balanced diet, it also supports healthy weight loss.These benefits make KIKO an ideal choice for today’s growing community of health-conscious consumers.
 

Good for the Planet Too

 
Japanese nature and farms, where konjac comes from


KIKO is good for you – and for the planet. Traditional rice farming uses a lot of water and produces harmful methane. KIKO is made from konjac plants, which need very little water and don’t create any methane at all. Authentic sushi flavor is made with clean, simple ingredients: Japanese wheat-free and sugar-free Tamanoi rice vinegar and sea salt – ideal for those who value sustainability and clean-label foods.

Numerous Business Benefits

Sell KIKO sushi without the need for white rice cooking, seasoning, cooling, or shaping. KIKO eliminates the time, labor, energy use, and food waste associated with traditional sushi rice – saving effort and cost. KIKO sushi bases are ready to use, shelf-stable before opening, and offer an efficient, scalable alternative for restaurants, supermarkets, and even cold kitchens such as salad bars, cafés, and food trucks.

  • How is KIKO easier than traditional sushi rice?
    KIKO sushi bases are fully ready to use – no cooking, seasoning, cooling, or shaping needed. Just top and serve. This saves time, reduces labor, and lets your staff focus on serving, not prepping.

     

  • Does KIKO need to be refrigerated or frozen?
    Not before opening. KIKO is shelf-stable for several hundred days at room temperature. After opening, store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.

     

  • How does KIKO reduce food waste?
    Traditional sushi rice has a short shelf life and dries out quickly, leading to waste. KIKO stays fresh much longer –both unopened at room temperature and after opening in the fridge – helping reduce prep loss, spoilage, and unsold product.

     

  • How does KIKO stay soft so long after opening?
    KIKO loves staying in its sushi box – the atmosphere keeps it perfectly moist. While traditional rice quickly dries out or spoils, KIKO sushi stays soft, fresh, and ready to eat for up to a week when properly stored.

     

  • How healthy of an option is KIKO?
    Very healthy! KIKO is low in calories, rich in fiber, and completely plant-based. It supports digestion, helps with weight management, and fits a wide range of diets – including vegan, gluten-free, keto, and diabetic-friendly.

     

  • How is KIKO more sustainable than rice?
    Traditional rice farming uses massive amounts of water and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Konjac, the plant behind KIKO, requires very little water and produces no methane – making KIKO a much more sustainable choice.

     

  • KIKO is a ready-to-serve component – but how consistent is the quality?
    Very consistent. Each KIKO batch is carefully produced under controlled conditions to ensure uniform size, texture, and flavor. You get the same high-quality result every time – no prep variation, no surprises.

     

  • KIKO tastes like traditional sushi rice – how is that possible?
    KIKO is lightly seasoned with Japanese Tamanoi rice vinegar and sea salt, giving it the clean, balanced flavor of authentic sushi rice – without the carbs. The texture is soft, airy, and satisfying, just like a hand-formed nigiri.

     

  • Is KIKO really suitable for all diets?
    Yes – really! KIKO is 100% plant-based, gluten-free, low-calorie, high in fiber, and free from allergens. It fits vegan, keto, diabetic, and weight-conscious diets alike. One base, all lifestyles.

     

  • Why is KIKO becoming so popular?
    KIKO offers a healthier, zero-carb alternative to sushi rice that aligns with modern wellness and sustainability trends. It’s ready to use, clean-label, and made from konjac – a plant that requires less water and produces no methane. That’s why it appeals to health-conscious, eco-aware, and convenience-driven customers alike.
