Nihon Shokken Product Manufacturing
Nihon Shokken Blend Seasonings
The blend seasonings we manufacture and sell consist of approximately 5,300 different types of liquid and powder blend seasonings. In addition we also create approximately 1,600 types of new products every year. The blend seasonings we provide are different from basic seasonings in that because they are used at the point when a dish is nearly finished, they have a large effect on the quality of the flavor and appearance of the food and hold a lot of responsibility for the overall value of products.
Liquid Products Mixing and Heating Processes
The supply room is separate and walled off from the rest of the floor, management methods for all of its machinery and equipment are extremely thorough and we exercise the greatest caution and care in all of or hygiene management.
After mixing and heating, products undergo physical and chemical tests as well as sensory examination by members of the quality control division and only those items which pass the tests are sent on to the filling line as products.

Our main bottled product filling line has the capacity to fill 3.5 tons of sauce every 30 minutes. In addition, the lines are completely enclosed for a number of processes in order to maintain sanitary conditions and the entire line is fully automated.
Powder Products Mixing Processes
We can produce 2.4 tons of product at one time from 4,000 liters of mixing ingredients in the mixer.

Safe Ingredients
Manufacturing sources are inspected when ingredients are selected and inspection items are set after analyzing potential risks when ingredients are received. Each lot of ingredients undergoes physical, chemical and microbiological inspections and only those items which pass these tests are used in our plants.
Production Process Quality Management
Equipment for testing for presence of foreign matter after packaging both allow us to verify the soundness of product contamination prevention measures and serve as a final line of defense against any contimination of products. In the event that any foreign matter or contamination is discovered, the system is designed in such a manner that the source of the conamination is able to be searched for in the process previous to the process in which the contamination was discovered.
Product Inspections
Finished products are compared with standard reference samples. Flavor, color, viscosity, feel and a variety of other properties are tested by human senses to determine if they deviate from standards. In addition data is also measured by physical and chemical testing equipment to ensure that only items that fall with in specified norms are shipped as finished products.
