＜About Soken＞

Soken is a food company with a commitment that spans over half a century.

In 1968, the year of its founding, during a period of rapid economic growth, many food additives such as synthetic fragrances, colorings, and preservatives were developed, and industrially produced processed foods for mass production were rapidly increasing. Founder Takao Nakamura, drawing on his own experience of overcoming illness through dietary improvement, advocated, "Food and how we eat are inevitably connected to how we live. Improving our diet is improving our way of life." Sensing a crisis in the changing Japanese food environment, he founded Soken with the desire to deliver foods that contribute to better health.

Initially, to deliver additive-free, traditional foods to those who needed them, the company eventually began to select ingredients with consideration for cultivation and raising methods.

In contrast to the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, they use pesticide-free, low-pesticide, and organically grown ingredients. In response to the issue of battery cages for chickens, they adopted free-range eggs.

Furthermore, in discussions about livestock meat from the perspectives of health and the environment, they have been pioneers in developing 100% plant-based products.

The themes that are now discussed as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been consistently pursued by Soken throughout its history of over half a century. Rather than being swayed by food trends, Soken is a company that maintains a questioning eye, asking, "Is this okay for the long-term good of society, considering the environment and human health?" and proposes alternatives in the form of products, asking, "Could this be done better?" We call this stance "Counter Vision Company," and we will continue to uphold this corporate philosophy of making good choices for society.
