Timeless Flavor and Bold New Challenges
Planning, developing, and selling our own products made with local ingredients
Committed to producing goods that embody safety, reassurance, and great flavor, our manufacturing business builds on the advanced rice-cracker techniques we have honed since our founding. We insist on Kumamoto-grown glutinous rice as the main ingredient and enforce rigorous quality control at every stage so customers can enjoy our products with confidence.
At our Hitoyoshi plant we also develop souvenirs that showcase local appeal, including long-loved favorites such as Shochu Monaka and Hinokuni Tsubaki.
Distinctive Strengths
Since our founding we have continued to make rice-based confectionery. We focus on Kumamoto-grown glutinous rice nourished by the spring water of Mount Aso, and in recent years our group’s farming arm has begun cultivating this rice for use in our products.
Drawing on years of experience in quality management and craftsmanship, we produce items that deliver safety, reassurance, and excellent taste.
We also plan and manufacture souvenirs rooted in the region, such as Shochu Monaka and Hinokuni Tsubaki, at our Hitoyoshi-area plant.
The carefully crafted gift assortments we sell mainly through our company shops are cherished as premium presents.
