Masao Takegawa
「食は体と心を養う」創業以来から続けている当社の旗幟鮮明な哲学であります。祖父であり創業者である、笹岡康男が1950年当時、これからの日本の食文化に警鐘を鳴らし健康食品の事業を始めました。創業当時からハトムギの健康効果に着目し研究を重ね「発酵ハトムギ酵素」をはじめ、様々なハトムギ製品を開発してきました。ハトムギは一般的には美容効果で女性を中心に人気がありますが、ハトムギの真の健康効果は非常に奥が深く、「皆様の健康寿命に必ず役立つもの」と私は確信しています。
At Taiyo Foods, we are also committed to environmental protection and animal welfare. With the goal of building a sustainable society, we cultivate organic Hatomugi in-house without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. In addition, our products contain no animal-derived ingredients; instead, we use only the finest raw materials we can source, guided by our commitment to quality and integrity.
Spreading the benefits of Hatomugi to support healthy longevity is our mission. With this purpose firmly in mind, we will continue striving to contribute to society through food and health.

In 2014, we obtained certification for our Sixth Industry Development Project. In 2016, we spun off the organic Job's Tears production business and established "Hatogumi Co., Ltd."
Hatomugi no Mori
In 2017, we renovated Hatomugi Café and opened Hatomugi Forest to convey the important role of hatomugi.
In 2018, we developed hatomugi bread using only plant-based ingredients, with no additives or animal-derived ingredients, and began selling it in our stores.
We currently operate two stores: the Nara store and the Higashi-Ikoma store.
