Quantifying Texture and Flavor of Noodles and Desserts Ensuring Stable Supply of High-Quality Rice, the Core of Japanese Food Culture

To responsibly deliver safe food products to our clients, we have established an in-house lab and a specialized team. We conduct thorough food saftey audits to prevent food incidents and perform physicochemical measurements of our products.

Food Rheology and Quality Assurance
We focus on two key areas: quantifying texture through food rheology measurements based on customer needs, and managing food safety and quality assurance for our products. Our measurements primarily cover polished rice, cooked rice, noodles, and desserts, while our management efforts extend to both commercial and general processed foods. Our goal is to deliver new value to our customers through these initiatives.
