Tanaka Foods was founded in Kure City in 1901. Initially, the Company produced pickles, Tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) and miso. In the Taisho Period, the Company was requested by the army and navy at the time to develop non-perishable foodstuffs that would be easy to carry and last for a long time, and in 1916, the first Furikake, “Ryoko No Tomo,” was born. In addition to Furikake, Tanaka Foods created various kinds of foods for daily life from various ideas, including instant canned miso soup as instant food. Behind the development of such foods, was a parental wish that “their only son, a soldier, would have available food on the frontlines that was delicious and nutritious anytime and anywhere.” Tanaka Foods’ Furikake is “food full of affection that parental love created,” and this feeling is the tradition and origin of Tanaka Foods.
