“How do you even say Miaomada?” People ask that the first time they see it. It’s pronounced mee-ah-oh-MAH-dah. Not a word you’d have run into before, and that’s fair, because it isn’t Japanese or English. It comes from Greek. Miaomada Is Greek for “One Team” Miaomada comes from the Greek μία ομάδα (Mia Omada), which…
Walk down the supplement aisle, in a store or online, and next to the protein sit BCAA, EAA, maltodextrin, creatine, and a row of other names you’ve never had to learn. You bought the protein. Do you need the rest? And what separates BCAA from EAA anyway? They aren’t competing with each other. Each one…
Most people get stuck on the same question right before they buy a protein dispenser: will the protein I already use actually work in it? Spending the money and then finding out your powder doesn’t work with it. The short answer is that a protein dispenser isn’t tied to any manufacturer or brand, and most…
You shake it properly, and there’s still a white lump sitting at the bottom. The last mouthful catches in your throat, chalky. Almost everyone who drinks protein runs into this at some point. 2 completely different things go by the same name. There are the lumps that never dissolve in your shaker, and there’s the…
Walk down the protein aisle or open a product page, and you get whey, casein, soy, and then WPC and WPI, none of it explained. Picking one gets confusing fast. There are really only 3 things you need to check: what it’s made from, how fast it absorbs, and whether that fits your goal. This…
Read the Miaomada blog for a while, and the word ‘ALENNE’ turns up here and there. Even if you’re using a protein dispenser, you’ve probably never heard it before and that makes sense; what’s printed on Miaomada products is ‘Protein Dispenser’ and ‘ALENNE’ appears nowhere on them. The only place it’s in use right now…
Your protein dispenser has arrived. First things first: wash every part that touches powder and set it to your shaker’s height. Once everything is dry and assembled, just fill it with your favorite protein powder and it’s ready for daily use. It’s simple: pull the lever, cap the nozzle, repeat. Below is the full run-through,…
I’m Keiichiro Honda, founder and CEO of Miaomada Co., Ltd. On this page, I want to share what Miaomada stands for, why we chose household powders as our focus, and where I’m trying to take the company from here. We Make It Ourselves, and We Sell It Ourselves At the root of Miaomada is a…
The best-before date printed on a protein bag is usually set a year or two after the manufacturing date. You think “plenty of time,” put the bag back, leave it, and then one day the color looks off, or the smell seems a little different. Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: the date printed on the…
Miaomada, a small company in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, launched the U.S. model of the ALENNE Protein Dispenser on Kickstarter in May 2026. Could a household measuring tool born in Japan reach homes overseas too? As the first step toward answering that, we chose Kickstarter. On this page, I want to set down, as plainly as…
