Japan has a long history of using foods with health benefits and Japanese people are well-known for their longevity.
The net sales of foods for specified health uses - FOSHU products reached 6.2 billion dollars in 2007. Most of the health claims relate to improving gastro-intestinal health using probiotics. Triglycerides, high blood pressure, high LDL-cholesterol, and high blood glucose are mainly associated with the related health claims.

Major health claims in the new regulation system are associated with fatigue, eyes, memory, stress, sleep, joints, blood flow, body temperature, muscles, and Body Mass Index. Products that promote health and wellness are especially important in Japan as the population of citizens aged 65 years and over is expected to make up 30% of the total population by 2025.

Japan lies east of the Asian Continent. It consists of four large islands and many other small islands. Japan covers about 378,000 square kilometers, surrounded by seas. Since Japan contains several volcanic chains, it has diverse natural features. The rivers are generally short and stream rapidly.
There are 47 prefectures (regions). Since the Japanese islands are on located on the Ring of Fire, volcanic activity often causes earthquakes. Seventy percent of Japan’s land is mountainous. The mountains are covered with forests.
Most of Japan is in the temperate zone. As a result, we experience four seasons. Rainfall is quite high. Compared with other areas in the temperate zone, Japan is characterized by a large temperature difference between summer and winter and high rainfall throughout the year. Since the group of islands making up Japan stretches a long way from north to south, the climate in northernmost region and that in the southernmost region are quite different.
The different regions of Japan each have their own local brand that comes from numerous farming, fishing, and plantation from the communities where food is a way of life.

The uniqueness of our materials is convertible. For example, Ashitaba the native plant to Japan, that we export normally as a dried green powder form. It is eventually free powder form, stick type, or encapsulated for bottled finished consumer or professional dietary supplement products. As an optional idea, we can supply roasted Ashitaba as a tea format. We can provide the free tea form or ready-made tea-bag format.
