Tanesho Co., Ltd.

Tanesho Co., Ltd., founded in 1946 in Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, is a pioneer in Japan’s grain and health food industry. With more than 75 years of expertise, the company has grown into the nation’s largest supplier of grain-based products, offering the widest range in Japan—from traditional staples like rice, barley, and millet to innovative blends tailored to modern health-conscious consumers. Guided by a philosophy of quality and safety, Tanesho manages the entire value chain, from sourcing raw materials to product development, packaging, and OEM solutions, ensuring consistency and trust for its partners worldwide.

A strong commitment to sustainability and local agriculture underpins Tanesho’s operations. The company works closely with Japanese farmers to secure high-quality raw materials while supporting the future of Japan’s farming communities. In 2014, Tanesho became one of the first Japanese food manufacturers to obtain Halal certification for all its factories, opening doors to Muslim-majority markets and expanding its reach to over 19 countries. Today, its products are well received across Asia and the Middle East, recognized for their authenticity, safety, and alignment with global dietary standards.

At the same time, Tanesho continues to innovate beyond traditional grains, developing functional and value-added foods that align with wellness and lifestyle trends. Its affiliate, Tasty Foods Co., Ltd., has introduced multigrain and superfood-based items such as the award-winning Super Food Rice Ball Box, which earned the Japan Gift Awards 2019 (Saga Award). By blending Japanese tradition with modern health innovation, Tanesho has positioned itself as a trusted global partner—delivering high-quality, Halal-certified, and culturally authentic products to international buyers, retailers, and foodservice professionals.
