Our Philosophy

Evolving Tradition

We do more than simply preserve tradition in our FU-making.
While honoring the techniques and spirit passed down through generations,
we continuously reexamine ingredients, methods, and expressions—
responding to changes in the times and the way people eat.

Built on proven craftsmanship,
we create FU that fits modern tables and diverse sensibilities—
more versatile, more beautiful, and more inspiring.

We protect what must be preserved,
and we are not afraid to change what should evolve.
This ongoing balance is the foundation of our approach to making FU.

Our Commitment

01

Characteristics

Understanding the Characteristics of FU

We carefully study the properties of FU, which is made from wheat protein.
From texture and water absorption to the changes that occur during cooking, we continuously explore its behavior.
By truly understanding these characteristics, we expand both its ease of use and its creative potential.
