What Nakano the Bonito Flakes values is the time spent connecting people through eating.
The steaming rice gently spreads with the aroma of bonito flakes.
That single bite sparks family conversations, passing on food memories from parent to child to grandchild.
The main target is the three layers.
First, health-conscious moms in their 30s and 40s, who are highly interested in additive-free, domestically sourced, and food education.
With the desire to let children eat them safely, families enjoy "Pariko" and "Mainichi Dashi" together, spreading their resonance on social media.
Next is the senior group in their 60s and 70s who value health and tradition. With the wish to pass on the traditional aroma and flavor of katsuobushi to our grandchildren,
We incorporate 'Hana Katsuo' and 'Hon-Kara Katsuo Powder' into our daily meals.
And women in their 20s to 40s, who are highly sensitive to food and culture.
I resonate with the design and the story behind it, choosing things like 'drinkable dashi and hotto' as healing or gifts for myself.
Our actual customers are mainly housewives in their 30s to 50s, who meet through various e-commerce malls and local markets,
Many people become repeat customers.
Wholesalers include premium stores that emphasize additive-free and organic products, as well as long-established luxury supermarkets,
Retailers focused on high sensitivity and quality.
In the sales area, where health- and nature-conscious women and gourmet-oriented individuals visit,
Interest is drawn not only to the taste but also to the "producers' sentiments" and "cultural background."
Buyers have commented such as, "My child who dislikes fish was happy to eat it," "The rich umami and aroma are exceptional," "Perfect as a gift," and "You can feel the warmth from the packaging."
Each of these is proof that our commitment to leveraging ingredients and connecting culture has truly reached our dining table.
Biting, feeling, connecting. Through the aroma of bonito flakes, we deliver moments where mind, body, and people connect.
