＜About Soken-sha＞
A food company with a history of over half a century, committed to quality.
At its founding in 1968, during Japan’s high economic growth period, many chemically synthesized food additives such as flavorings, colorings, and preservatives were being developed, and industrial processing methods for mass-produced processed foods were rapidly increasing. Founder Takao Nakamura, having overcome his own health issues through dietary improvements, advocated that "what we eat and how we eat it are always connected to how we live. Improving our diet is about improving our way of life." Recognizing the crisis in Japan’s changing food environment, he established Soken-sha with the desire to deliver foods that promote health.
Initially, the company aimed to deliver traditional, additive-free foods to those who needed them, gradually selecting raw materials with careful attention to cultivation and breeding methods.
They use pesticide-free, low-pesticide, and organically cultivated raw materials, and adopted free-range eggs to address issues related to caged poultry.
Furthermore, from a health and environmental perspective, they have developed 100% plant-based products, pioneering these efforts early in the market.
Throughout its more than 50-year history, the company has consistently pursued themes now recognized as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Rather than following fleeting food trends, they maintain a perspective that questions, "Is this really okay for the environment and human health in the long term?" and propose alternative ideas in product form. This stance is called "Countervision Company," and they continue to uphold a corporate attitude of making socially beneficial choices.
