Message from the CEO

First of all, we continue to stick to "taste". The reason is that the sales destination of the dried bonito wholesaler is "Soba shop".Continuing to sell a Katsuobushi to long-established soba restaurants all over Japan means that the taste of "tsuyu" at one store is different. The owner of the soba shop keeps the taste of the shop so that the taste does not change due to the "craftsman". Continuing to live up to the trust of the shop owner leads to my confidence. Not only the Katsuobushi to be purchased and the appearance, but also the hard Katsuobushi are beaten and broken, and checked with my tongue. Every day, we boil water to extract the dashi stock and check the taste. I will not compromise. This is because it is important to continue to pursue and protect the "taste" that does not change even when the times change. Today and tomorrow, we will continue to stick to the "taste" of each store, the "taste" of each household, and the "taste" of each individual.
