R&D
Biwako Research Institute, Otsuka Foods
Ever since we introduced Bon Curry in 1968, we have continued to develop innovative new products. We released Sinvino JAVA TEA Straight to complement meals in 1989 and the carbonated vitamin drink MATCH in 1996. Then, in 2001, we introduced Mannanhikari, a rice-like processed food that enhances meals as an enjoyable calorie-reduced staple. In 2010, we turned our attention to the evolving consumer lifestyles and portion sizes. This effort yielded the My Size series, which is based on the concept of delivering the right portion sizes in terms of both quantity and calories. As a member of the Otsuka group, we have also participated in research and development for POCARI SWEAT, Calorie Mate, and SOYJOY. Based on our original concepts and development capabilities, as well as a traditional pioneering spirit, we will continue to deliver new foods to people’s tables as only Otsuka Foods can.
