This is a 100% first-press rapeseed oil made from domestically grown rapeseed. It is made from non-GMO rapeseed seeds grown in Japan.
The oil is extracted using a natural pressing method and refined through hot water washing (proprietary patent). No petrochemical products are used in the manufacturing process.
It has a unique nutty aroma, a refreshing flavor of rapeseed, and a rich, delicious taste. It can be used for raw consumption, such as in salads, as well as for deep-frying.
Rapeseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids such as oleic acid, linolenic acid, and linoleic acid. These support the absorption of vitamins.
The oil is extracted using a natural pressing method and refined through hot water washing (proprietary patent). No petrochemical products are used in the manufacturing process.

All employees are committed to delivering safe, secure, and delicious rapeseed oil to your table.
Yonezawa Seiyu's Three Commitments:
1. We use non-GMO raw rapeseed.Currently, approximately 2.4 million tons of rapeseed are imported into Japan annually. The main importing countries are Canada and Australia, of which about 90% are genetically modified (GM) rapeseed. (93% of Canadian rapeseed and 22% of Australian rapeseed are GM rapeseed.) (*) Until 1997, our company used Canadian rapeseed, but due to the start of genetic modification, we switched to Australian rapeseed. However, as genetic modification also began in Australia, we now contract with farmers who cultivate non-GMO crops and purchase only rapeseed that has been segregated and managed (IP handling) at each stage from cultivation to distribution for oil extraction.
2. We strive to expand production areas with the aim of increasing domestic self-sufficiency.The production volume of domestic rapeseed has recovered to over 3,000 tons annually. It is a useful crop that requires little cultivation effort, and after planting rapeseed, other crops grow better or yield more in the fields. However, production will not increase without a market for it. Our company purchases approximately 70% (2,250 tons) of the domestic rapeseed production volume for oil extraction, thereby supporting farmers and striving to increase self-sufficiency.
3. We do not use chemical synthetic agents or food additives in our manufacturing process.General salad oil is extracted using a combination of pressing and extraction methods. The extraction method uses n-hexane (a petroleum-related product) to dissolve out the remaining oil from the raw material to the utmost extent after pressing. Furthermore, in the refining process, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, caustic soda, and activated clay are used for efficient refining. Our company extracts oil only by the pressing method, refines it using the "hot water washing method (patented process)" which involves repeatedly washing the oil with hot water, and does not add silicone (antifoaming agent) to the product.
*Depending on the quality of the raw seeds, naturally derived citric acid, activated carbon, or acid clay (raw earth) may be used in the refining process.
"Rapeseed Oil," a Nutritionally Balanced Vegetable Oil
Oils are composed of multiple fatty acids. Commonly heard fatty acids include oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and medium-chain fatty acids.
All fatty acids are beneficial to the human body, and due to media reports and other influences, people tend to consume them unevenly, but there is a desirable intake ratio. According to data from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, it is desirable to consume them in the order of ω-9 series > ω-6 series > ω-3 series. (*) Olive oil is rich in oleic acid but lacks sufficient linolenic acid. Perilla oil, which has recently been featured in the media, has too little oleic acid, which should be consumed the most. Coconut oil has too little oleic acid and essential fatty acids. Rapeseed oil contains ω-9, 6, and 3 series fatty acids in an ideal intake ratio, making it a balanced oil among vegetable oils.
