Collaboration with Research Institutions
and Companies
Our Initiative for Stepping Up and Deepening of “Science of Palatability” through Industry-Government-Academia Collaboration
We collaborate with universities, research institutions and companies in Japan and overseas . We conduct joint researches with the goal of deepening initiatives of “Science of Palatability” and to enhancing the value of food materials.
Joint Research with Universities in Japan and Overseas
By receiving academic guidance from universities, such as Niigata
University and University of Tokyo, we aim to further develop our initiatives
of “Science of Palatability”.
In the joint research with Can Tho University, we aim to develop powdered products using food materials in Mekong Delta region such as shrimp and rice.
At the same time, study on similarities and differences in the perception of
“pleasant taste” among Japanese and Vietnamese is underway.
Value Creation through Collaboration with Companies
TAKESHO aspire to create value-added products by collaborating with domestic and international companies. To commercialize our research outcome from joint research with Can Tho University, we signed a basic agreement on strategic partnership of developing and marketing processed marine products with a local company in Vietnam in 2022. This company upcycles shrimp by-product (or co-product) which is yield during processing cultivated shrimps. With our proprietary technology combined with their underutilized food materials such as shrimp heads, we can create value-added product and deliver it to the world as powder seasonings.
Our Commitment to "Pleasant Taste"
"Science of Palatability"
We are putting effort into initiatives of "Science of Palatability", our attempt to visualize the characteristics of food products by combining sensory evaluation and instrumental analysis.
Commitment to Safety, Security and High Quality
Our FSSC 22000 certified factory is dedicated to quality control in all process from raw material management to quality inspections of final products. We strictly control allergens as well.
