NIKKEN Mind

Delivering global health and natural goodness

"Natural"

Nikken products, centered primarily on natural flavors, utilize mainly natural raw materials such as vegetables, seafood, fruit, and tea-the very blessings of nature.
NIKKEN's broad-ranging products are widely utilized in a variety of ways both in Japan and overseas. Our research thus persistently focuses on locking in the inherent umami (savoriness), aroma, and natural goodness of ingredients to ensure food products of safe and reliable quality which are beneficial to health.

"Contributing to global well-being"
We remain solidly committed to delivering health and naturally good tastes worldwide through food.

Nikken's unwavering goal: "Contribute to global well-being by bringing better health to the greatest number"

Our vision is "delivering global health and natural goodness" through food.

A perpetually healthy and joyful society is grounded in peace, safety, and prosperity. Such a world provides each of us with a lifestyle and well-being that enables the vibrant pursuit of our hopes and dreams empowered by mutual support. To realize that society – that world – NIKKEN remains dedicated to working together to refine our technology and advance our development.

Conduct ongoing research to enable the creation of health-boosting foods!

Our corporate name - "NIKKEN Foods" - is derived from the commitment to create foods promoting health through ongoing research. The Nikken corporate culture of constant progress through daily research and study has remained unchanged since our founding.

Continually strive to help and delight others in our daily actions

We strive to envision, understand, and consider the standpoint, concerns, and needs of others, evaluating how we can help, and then acting with compassion. In helping others, we ultimately improve ourselves.

Create products that are safe for ourselves and our children to eat

Creating safe and reliable products for our customers requires us first to create products that are safe for ourselves and our children to eat. That same commitment underscores our product development and manufacture.
