Under the supervision of doctors and registered dietitians, we have launched a medical food brand called "Shokutaku no Mei-i™" that offers a range of foods for people with digestive concerns. We have also developed a new category of frozen food, the "Digest-safe™ Series." Using a patented freeze-soaking method, we process the food to make it soft, providing peace of mind and deliciousness to meet the needs of our customers, including those with illnesses. We also conduct tasting monitors for people who have had stomach cancer surgery, collect and analyze information from the field, and use that information to develop products, which have earned us high praise for their ease of digestion, softness, and ease of preparation.
