[A self-paying comparison review without any consideration] A behavioural food for hiking. Review of the latest and most popular five dishes that will not only provide nutrition but also encourage your mood.
written by Murakami Haruki
Hiking and mountain climbing will burn more calories than you imagine, so you'll quickly get hungry. In such cases, what is necessary to satisfy your hunger is a "activity food" that does not require cooking and is easy to eat. Of course, regular convenience store breads and rice balls are not bad, but we recommend products designed for mountain climbing, with as little weight as possible and efficiently recharge the energy needed for mountain climbing.
So, this time we've picked out the latest five behavioural food products that have been bothering you recently, and we'd like to actually examine which ones are the most delicious, easy to eat, and are also very nutritious!

The latest five foods you're interested in
We carefully selected five products and tested them while eating on actual mountain climbing foods, focusing on the following three points that we personally would like to prioritize.
- High energy content (climbing large calories is a great option! Especially for long hikes)
- Something containing Palatinose® (slow absorption of carbohydrates)
- Something delicious (rewards when you're tired are important mentally too!)

- Delicious and flavorful dried fruit

Summary: Personally, I recommend "Enemochi walnut flavor"
After reviewing five active diets, the thing I most wanted to bring was "Enemochi Walnut Flavor."
The key points are sufficient energy, difficulty in raising blood sugar levels, deliciousness, and ease of eating. Delicacy is especially important, and I was able to hold on when it was tough (I think everyone is the same).
Nearly second place is "MANA BAR Apple Cinnamon Flavor." Its ease of eating, deliciousness and energy content exceeds Enemochi, but it was the runner-up because it does not contain Palatinose®. I ate it on a tough mountain hike, and it was extremely effective.
In third place is "NATURE THING Pure Dates Chocolat The Cacao Flavor." Rather than eating while moving, I think it's a great time to eat with coffee on the mountaintop. It is also perfect for whiskey pick-up at a tent area. It's very nutritious and might be a good way to eat it.
The other two items are also amazing, and I think the most important thing is to choose a food that suits your taste according to your mountain hiking.
We hope that this review of the actual food for you will be helpful when purchasing.

Murakami Haruki
He has been climbing for five years and two years at UL. He's still a hiker who's still trying to get trial and error. I like long hikes. I love traveling and go out both domestically and internationally. We will focus on what we feel from a beginner's perspective, and will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner so that readers can feel, "Let's go to the mountains again next week!"
