As we explore where our next challenges lie, we take action with our gaze on the future.
Flavor design
Our goal is to offer our customers comprehensive solutions for the manufacture of their finished goods. We bring together technologies and product concepts with an understanding of global trends and consumers to create flavors that offer greater value.
Our Heritage
One of the important aspects in flavor development is understanding the food cultures and preferences rooted in various countries around the world. As a global flavor house originating from Asia and established by Japanese chemists in 1920, we cherish the essence of Asian and Japanese culinary allure and heritage. We deliver products rooted in the charm and heritage of Asian and Japanese cuisine to the world.
Consumer Insights & Market Research (CIMR)
Through teams specialized in marketing and research in 15 countries, we develop and propose flavors rooted in market trends and consumer insights. These consumer insights even include needs that consumers themselves are not yet aware of. We approach needs with flavors as the focal point, and use the data obtained to develop flavors that we strategically connect to creation and proposals.
Technology
Drawing on the foundations of analysis, human science (physiological psychology), bioscience, formulation, and other core technologies cultivated in Japan, we collaborate with our flavor R&D departments in nine countries to pursue flavor creation, materials development, and application development.
Core Competency
We work in categories from beverage, confectionery, savory, bakery, dairy, and oral care. With materials as our core strength, we transcend categories to engage in innovative technological development, concept creation, and sustainable supply of finished goods.
