About Our Products Japan being an island nation with many volcanoes, has soil poor in calcium. Therefore, agricultural produce also contains little calcium, which leads to the need for calcium supplement through consuming calcium rich foods such as fish. Masaki-cho, known as the cradle of " chinmi" foods, produces chinmi foods made mainly from fish caught in the Seto Inland Sea and seas near Nagasaki. The natural ingredients - fish - are sweetened with millet jelly and further flavor is added with soy sauce for a sweet and salty taste, and are then dried. They can also be consumed as preserved foods. They may be considered the origin of chinmi foods made from small fish.

About Our Technology - The Two Added Values For making various products including the "Special Kohamani" , we import and recycle fish bones which are rich in calcium but are usually thrown away. Our products are not only full of healthy calcium, but are also made in harmony with nature, making sure that nothing is put to waste. In recent years, there has been much talk of Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the condition which occurs when the bones are lacking in calcium, decreasing the bone density and thus weakening the bones. This condition can trigger back pain, deformity of bone marrow, and bone fracture. It usually becomes more common with age, but there are ways to prevent the condition, which can be done by just paying attention to your day-to-day life.

How Can It Be Prevented?

Effective consumption of calcium. Eating a well balanced diet, drinking milk and consuming dairy products and snacking on healthy " Special Kohamani."

Adequate Amounts of Exposure to the Sun Ultraviolet rays help calcium absorption.

Exercising Outdoors Bones can be strengthened by stimulation through exercise.
