Unlocking Food Freedom
Through Texture Engineering Technology.
ABOUT
We are a texture engineering company from Japan, using our revolutionary konjac fiber technology to create extraordinary eating experiences, free from compromise and restriction.
Too often, the food we need is not the food we love. Dietary restrictions, health goals, and the limitations of present plant-based alternatives can lead to joyless meals and disappointing textures. At NINZIA, we are here to change that.
Message from CEO
It Began with a Simple Wish: To Restore the Joy of Eating.
This mission led our founder, Masahiro Yoritama, on a scientific quest. Drawing on his background in Japanese food culture and pursuing advanced engineering research, he unlocked the potential of a humble, traditional ingredient: konjac. He saw not just a food, but a key to engineering texture itself.
From a Personal Mission to a Global Movement.
Masahiro Yoritama,
CEO/CRO of NINZIA Inc.
