We, Virtus Co., Ltd., are a land rich in nature in Reiyama Town, Date City, Fukushima Prefecture, and make Chinese side dishes such as menma and zarsai by hand and sell them wholesale. The reason for launching the brand was because I wanted to deliver really delicious menma to more people. Menma and zasai served at ramen shops and izakayas play a supporting role in the dish, but their taste greatly affects the impression of a bowl of ramen or a dish. We wanted to make such "famous supporting characters" safer, more delicious, and feel the blessings of nature.
At the beginning of our founding, we did not make menma or zasai that can be found everywhere, but we were particular about a manufacturing method that maximizes the power of the ingredients, does not rely on chemical seasonings, and spares no effort. By using the rich nature of Fukushima, the pure water produced from it, and carefully selected raw materials, we aim to create products that are gentle on the mind and body of those who eat them.
What we want to achieve is to deliver small happiness and peace of mind to the dining table. We want to be a brand that continues to contribute to the community and society through manufacturing that takes advantage of the blessings of nature.
