The Producer's Story - The Philosophy of Taiyo Foods
 

Taiyo Foods was founded in 1957 by its founder, Yasuo Sasaoka, based on his belief that "food nourishes the body and mind."

After graduating from university, he got a job at a pharmaceutical manufacturer where he was first exposed to the world of traditional Chinese medicine, and became fascinated by it. He decided to devote his life to exploring its potential and unknown power.

Utilizing knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and extensive research into Job's Wheat and fermented foods, Job's Wheat Enzyme was born in 1974.

Job's tears is a grain of the grass family that has been loved by people since ancient times and has been known as the "master wart remover."

This name does not simply refer to one effect, but is also proof that throughout history it has been revered as a product that "keeps skin healthy and supports beauty and health."

Since then, for over 60 years, Taiyo Foods has continued to move forward without stopping, and has been committed to "manufacturing products that are close to nature and people."

In Toyama, we cultivate over 40,000 square meters of organic barley fields, and we grow each grain with care, listening to the voice of the earth as it changes with the seasons.

Currently, the third generation inherits this philosophy.

With the founder's beliefs in mind, we continue to research and improve our products to address the new health challenges faced by modern people - intestinal disorders, lifestyle-related diseases, and health problems caused by a stressful society.

Rather than simply preserving tradition, the company is committed to modern fermentation techniques, organic farming practices, and efforts to increase transparency in the manufacturing process, ensuring that "safe food" is passed on to the next generation.

Fermented over time, it is delivered in its natural state with sincerity.

That cup of coffee embodies the passion that has been passed down from the founder to the second and third generations.

From the past to the future - Taiyo Foods will continue to move forward with its mission of "protecting people's health."
