Our Group showcased “future food” that is both environmentally friendly and delicious at the Expo.

At the “UTAGE BURGER” booth in the ORA Foodservice Pavilion, we sold burgers and pizza made with soy-based meat alternatives. By blending Osaka-inspired flavors with traditional Japanese ingredients, we delivered an experience that is not only

At the “Kitchen of the Future” in the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion, we showcased real cultured meat and a meat maker. We presented a visionary, almost magical kitchen of the future—where meat shifts from something bought in stores to something made at home, customized to one’s preferred level of marbling. To address global population growth and environmental challenges, we will continue to expand choices in meat through advanced technologies and help safeguard a sustainable food culture for the future.

Due to the “2024 logistics issue,” including a shortage of drivers, delivering meat to consumers’ tables is becoming increasingly challenging. To overcome this issue, we are working with other companies, industry associations, and distribution partners to reform how products are transported.

Joint delivery improves transportation efficiency by consolidating shipments from multiple manufacturers onto a single truck. In regions such as Shikoku and Kansai, initiatives to reduce unused truck capacity are beginning to deliver tangible results.

We are revising delivery time windows and streamlining on-site tasks at delivery locations. Creating a work environment where drivers can operate without undue strain is essential to ensuring stable and reliable deliveries. By fundamentally rethinking how logistics work, we will continue to deliver our products to customers steadily and reliably.

To make everyday meals more satisfying, our Group is strengthening sales of its original pork brand, “Koku‑Uma.”

We raise our pigs on a carefully balanced feed made from six types of grains, including rice and barley. As a result, compared with conventional pork, umami components are approximately 2.7 times higher, and richness and mellowness are about six times greater, delivering remarkably superior taste.

At the International Taste Institute (ITI) 2025, our pork loin received the highest three‑star rating. This recognition confirms that its quality is regarded as world‑class by professional experts.

Our products are processed at facilities that meet stringent hygiene standards, enabling us to deliver safe, high‑quality meat to customers consistently and reliably.

As the number of dual‑income and time‑pressed households continues to grow, we are focusing on developing meat products that are quick and easy to prepare, yet authentically delicious.
