We deliver a variety of food products, including theraeutic foods and nursing-care foods, to
hospitals/clinics, nursing facilities and private home.
The daily meals are nothing special for us, but not for inpatients and elderly people. For those people, the daily meals are part of the medical treatment and the nursing care, but also they are the pleasure that those people eagerly await. We deliver our various food products every day with our strong wishes that those products will become the fine meals live up to their expectation, and the meals will
support to maintain their health. For their pleasure, we always make efforts to deliver the
creative food products, such as the seasonal foodstuffs and the seasonal event foods.
We aspire that more inpatients and elderly people say “I can eat easily.” or “My appetite is back !” . We have such passion to support them.
