LIST OF MEMBERS

Hanamaruki Co., Ltd.

Hanamaruki was founded in 1918. Since then, we have been operating a business centered on brewing miso with the management philosophy of “valuing ingredients and manufacturing”.
In addition to our “Shio Koji” (Salt-Koji), which utilizes ‘koji’ (a mold that is essential for making miso), we have developed our “Liquid Salt-Koji” which was made with the goal of ensuring convenience and ease of use for our customers. We have also obtained an international manufacturing patent for its use. Our “Liquid Salt-Koji” is being adopted at food processing sites around the world and in 2020, we established our Thai factory “Siam Hanamaruki” as a new production base. Having obtained various international certifications such as FSSC22000, BRC, Kosher, and Halal certifications, we are working on expanding to an overseas market.

Message

In addition to manufacturing safe and secure products, we have always strived to take on new challenges. At our Ina, Otone, and Thailand factories, which have acquired the international food safety certification standard FSSC22000. In addition to producing traditional fermented ingredients such as ‘Miso’ and ‘Instant Miso Soup’, we also handle the raw ingredients used in confectionery products such as “Fiantine” and “Fiantine” provide a range of products for a variety of food scenes. In order to continue taking on the challenge of creating new products, we are also focusing on human resource development. To actively practice the idea that "a company is its staff embodied" we are working to develop human resources with the aim of hiring people that are skillful to the extent that "other companies would go out of their way to scout them”. In addition to hiring new graduates, we also actively hire mid-career people with various careers and strive to create an environment where diverse human resources who find joy in taking on challenges can thrive. For the next 100 years, Hanamaruki would like to continue to serve more customers through the making of products that utilize Koji cultivating methods, which have been passed down since ancient times in Japan.
