  president　Dai Iizuka

numerous patents, and he was awarded degrees in science and agriculture for his originality. The results of our research on shiitake mycelium culture medium extract (LEM) have been reported in numerous academic conferences and papers from universities and other public institutions. LEM has been sold as a health food for many years and is loved by many people for maintaining their health.

Company Philosophy

   
Repect for Life

In today's increasingly deteriorating natural environment, the resistance, or immunity, of all living organisms on the earth is declining, making it difficult to maintain the health of animals and plants on the earth, let alone humans. Pesticides, fertilizers, feed, etc. used heavily on plants and livestock, which support human health, are not environmentally friendly. Our management philosophy is "Respect for Life" by our founder. We believe that our passion for contributing to the health of animals and plants, including humans, will eventually lead to social welfare and the happiness of humankind. Living organisms on the earth can be broadly divided into animals, plants, and microorganisms. Fungi among microorganisms are said to have created the soil in which plants can survive, and eventually created the opportunity for animal life.
We have been researching mushrooms, one of these fungi. As a result, we have succeeded in developing a mycelial culture medium extract of shiitake mushrooms (LEM), which we have introduced to the world as a health food. In recent years, Ganoderma lucidum mycelium culture medium extract (MAK) and shiitake mushroom fermented rice bran extract (LEF) have also been developed and are expected to be used in the future together with LEM. Based on the above ideas, we will devote ourselves to research and development with the desire to create health for all living creatures on the earth, and strive to expand and popularize the use of LEM, MAK, and LEF.
