Founded in 1945 in Himeji, Hyogo prefecture, Toa Foods specializes in noodle manufacturing. Consumed for over 1,300 years on the archipelago, noodles are deeply embedded in Japanese culture. The region of Himeji, formerly known as Banshu, is known for its production of hand stretched dry noodles with a unique taste that requires plenty of skills. Among the 50 employees of Toa Foods, 11 of them are nationwide recognized noodle experts that oversee the manufacturing process of soba, ramen, udon and much more. To do so, the company uses high quality products supplied by the best Japanese companies such as wheat flour and locally grown rice called Japonica rice, used to make rice flour. The production process of noodle is unique and divided into several steps to ensure the preservation of the flavor of each ingredient. Nowadays, Toa Foods wishes to represent Japan and its rich cuisine on the international stage thanks to its soba, udon or even high quality ramen.
