About us
TAKESHO was founded in 1960 in Niigata City, Japan. Since then, we have offered our customers a complete range of services, including wholesale, product development, manufacturing, and engineering. With our "Science of Palatability" initiative, we work alongside our customers, helping to enhance their competitiveness and contributing to their business expansion.
At TAKESHO, we see one another as an irreplaceable flower of different expertise. By putting our knowledge and skills together in harmony, we can create and offer delicious "bouquets of food" to our customers.
Products and Service
We provide customized solutions that best suit our clients' needs through our full-service sales approach, which includes all or a specific combination of wholesale, product development, manufacturing, and engineering.
Wholesaler
Food ingredients are key to processed food production. We carefully select the most suitable food ingredients from our extensive network of suppliers and propose to our customers based on their needs. Besides, we provide total solutions to support our clients in product development, including packaging materials and equipment, scientific instruments, and reagents.
Blending
For product development, we use "Science of Palatability" - a data-driven approach to visualizing the taste, aroma, and texture of the food products. We also handle product filling and packaging in different formats.
Materials
- Our Brand -
To add more value to the abundant supply of food resources from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, we launched "MillGlobe", our company's brand of powdered food material products. In cooperation with local partners, we utilize and upcycle materials that are traditionally underused.

Pursuit of "Pleasant taste"
At TAKESHO, with the "Science of Palatability", we commit to turning our customers' flavor profile ideas into a reality.
Science of Palatability
We use sensory analysis perceived through the senses of our R&D specialists, together with instrumental analysis, to visualize and understand the characteristics of food. Based on insights from data visualization, we work with our customers to create the most ideal seasonings for their products.
Collaboration with Research Institutions and Companies
We are conducting joint research on the "Science of Palatability" and "Developing new, value-added food materials" with Can Tho University in Vietnam and multiple Japanese universities, namely, Niigata University, the University of Tokyo.
Commitment to Safety, Security and High Quality
At our FSSC22000-certified factory in Niigata, we take quality seriously in all stages of the manufacturing process, from food ingredients management to quality inspection. Each product, powder or liquid, is blended in a separate, positive air pressure room, following a different traffic flow in the factory. We ensure that allergens are strictly controlled and there is no cross-contamination between different products.
By incorporating Sustainable Development Goals into our business strategies such as upcycling underused food resources to reduce food loss in Vietnam, promoting the use of environmentally friendly packaging materials to our customers, and organizing real work experience programs for students, we proactively contribute to building a sustainable society.
