Rice Cracker Business – International
Rice crackers represents Japan culture and have continued to be loved by many people. At KAMEDA SEIKA, we aim to bring this tradition to the world by expanding our rice cracker business globally. Our goal is to become a “Global Food Company” that delivers health and happiness to people everywhere through rice crackers.
In Asia, we strengthened our presence in the Chinese market by establishing Qingdao Kameda Foods Co., Ltd. as a production base in Qingdao, China in 2003. In 2020, we acquired Singha Kameda (Thailand) Co., Ltd. as a subsidiary, positioning it as a hub for cross-border trade and global rice cracker distribution. More recently, we have expanded into Vietnam, India, and Cambodia.
We are developing brands tailored to local markets and are working to increase cross-border trade.
Leveraging our international network, we will continue taking on the challenge of making KAMEDA SEIKA rice crackers available to customers around the world.

Food-related Business
In our medium-term business plan formulated in 2018, KAMEDA SEIKA declared that it would fully transition from a rice cracker business to a food business. Based on the technology and knowledge from decades-long rice research at KAMEDA SEIKA, we have developed several products other than rice crackers, such as the smooth and easy-to-swallow universal design food “Fukkura Okayu”. Furthermore, we have verified various functional effects of rice-derived “plant-based lactic acid bacteria K-1” and sake lees-derived “plant-based lactic acid bacteria K-2”, expanding the possibilities of our healthcare business.
Looking ahead to the future, we are developing these businesses to become KAMEDA SEIKA’s core business, we will strive for sustainable growth of the food business based on the concept of “Better For You”.
