Initiatives
Physical and chemical inspection
Rice
We check whiteness, moisture, foreign matter, grain shape, taste, and also temperature changes during rice cooking of all incoming raw materials and milled rice products by analyzer designed for physical and chemical factors. We never compromise our duty and efforts to deliver safe products to our customers.
Cooked Rice
We conduct a variety of safety management, mainly based on bacterial testing, sensory testing, and testing for deterioration over time.
Sensory inspection
We do not rely only on machine analyzers, but also check the quality by human sensors i.e. eating. We have our own rice panelists who have passed strict tests to lead this process.
Customer Service
Provision of rice cooking manuals
We provide rice cooking manuals tailored to each store’s kitchen facilities and kitchen environment. Regardless of whether it is washed rice or general milled rice, we provide the most suitable manual according to the customer’s rice cooking environment. We conduct regular rice cooking tests and store visits to provide integrated “quality checks and customer support” from before to after delivery.
Traceability system
Certification by a third-party certification organization
We have established our own traceability system that follows the organic certification system to trace back from shipping destination, manufacturring process to the incoming raw materials. This system has been certified by a third- party certification organization to maintain the certainty of the system.
