Kumamoto earthquake
In the Kumamoto earthquake, the roof of the factory was destroyed, and the factory was unable to operate.
We all worked together to repair it, and within a week we were able to resume operations.
By seeing the people and communities around us who had food problems due to the earthquake, we were able to reconfirm that our dry food service is useful in their daily lives.
We will continue to contribute to the local community and society. -
