Give yourself more
freedom in what you eat.
ABOUT
We are not a health food company or a plant-based company, but a food technology company from Japan that specializes in texture.
Using the dietary fiber of konnyaku with a traditional Japanese technique, we develop products and technologies to create a world where everyone can freely enjoy food.
Message from the President
NINZIA Inc. (formerly Sydecas Inc.) was established in 2016 as a company that operates producing clothing and accessories for nursing care.
As we proceeded with our business, we felt a sense of discomfort with the "mechanical food" that is provided at the end of life during nursing care.
Also, seeing my grandmother limiting her favorite sweets due to diabetes, we thought about what we could do.
At that time, we came across "adhesive technology using konnyaku dietary fiber," which was being researched for industrial use.
Konnyaku is a common ingredient that is all too familiar to us Japanese people.
However, it is also a very unique ingredient in the world, as it is made up mostly of water and dietary fiber and is enjoyed purely for the "sensation of eating." Our Japanese ancestors may have intuitively understood that the act of "eating" itself creates a richness in life, separate from the intake of nutrients to maintain the health of the body.
As I myself studied Japanese food culture in graduate school, I launched a food tech business to research, develop, and implement the theme of "creating textures that allow everyone to enjoy the act of eating."
Make your "eating" more free. As we continue to conduct research and development with the hope that you will be in a good mood and be able to eat and live to the fullest.
Masahiro Yoritama,
President of NINZIA Inc.
