Kanetsu - Kan-etsu Bussan -

Kanetsu's history dates back to 1946 (Showa 21), shortly after the war. In an era when food was precious, the business started from the wish to "deliver delicious and reassuring food to the table" — and the company was established as Kan-etsu Bussan Co., Ltd. in 1973 (Showa 48). After that, as a specialty maker of low-calorie foods centered on konjac, shirataki, tokoroten, and agar, the company built systems meeting wide-ranging needs from home to professional use.

The phrase embodying the corporate philosophy of "Feeling each other, rejoicing together, food culture of connection" is the brand statement "Good Taste, Freshly Made." To deliver freshly made deliciousness to the table as quickly as possible, the company has continuously improved and challenged itself — in raw material selection, production lines, quality control, and logistics systems. The brand mark, imaging steam rising from cooked food, contains the wish to "always deliver fresh-made."

Without resting on the konjac boom, the company actively develops recipe proposals, health information sharing, campaigns, and monitor projects centered on "what can we do for our customers?" By enriching "learn and enjoy" content — from basics of konjac, shirataki, tokoroten, and agar to konjac potato producing regions and cultivation, konjac history, and diet tips — the company supports balancing the joy of the table with building health.

Expert in konjac, shirataki, tokoroten, and agar

As a specialty maker focused on konjac, shirataki, tokoroten, and agar, Kanetsu has polished material selection, manufacturing techniques, and product design in-house. From committed raw-imo konjac, the "Nama-iki" series, salad konjac, to tokoroten and agar desserts — the company offers a diverse lineup that balances tradition and ease of eating.

Integrated system and nationwide network supporting about 1,600 items

Centered on the Tokyo HQ, multiple factories in Saitama and Gunma, and logistics centers, the company integrally operates raw material reception, manufacturing, quality control, and logistics. Beyond konjac, shirataki, tokoroten, and desserts, the company stably supplies about 1,600 items — including sauced/cooked konjac, prepared dishes, and chikuwabu — earning support for both home and professional use.

Proposing "delicious healthy menus" you can continue at the daily table

On the official site, through recipes leveraging Kanetsu products and the "Healthy Diet / Low-Calorie Diet" feature — covering staples, side dishes, hot pots, salads, soups, and desserts — the company proposes a healthy diet you can continue without strain. Linked with SNS like Instagram, it also introduces monitor and ambassador voices, campaign information, and customer arrangement recipes — expanding the joy of the table.
