Founded in 1945 in Himeji, located in Hyogo Prefecture, Toa Foods specializes in noodle production. Consumed for over 1,300 years on the archipelago, noodles are deeply rooted in Japanese culture. The Himeji region, formerly Banshu, is known for its production of hand-pulled dried noodles with a unique taste that requires significant expertise. Among the 50 employees at Toa Foods, 11 are nationally recognized noodle experts who oversee the production of soba, ramen, udon, and more. To achieve this, the company uses high-quality ingredients supplied by top Japanese companies, including locally grown Japonica rice to make rice flour. Today, Toa Foods aims to represent Japan and its rich culinary culture on the international stage with its premium soba, udon, and ramen noodles.
