This position is for someone who will play a central role in our overseas business in the future.

As a true "bridge connecting the world," we will bring the Japanese culture of rice crackers to markets in North America, Europe, and Oceania. Negotiating with major overseas companies is both tense and rewarding, like competing against world-class players on a major stage. Meanwhile, internal coordination and quality control are crucial roles in building the team's strength. This position offers a great sense of accomplishment, as your efforts are tangibly reflected in products on store shelves and sales overseas.

Company Info [Company Characteristics]
Our core business, rice crackers, are traditional snacks made from rice, a central ingredient in Japanese food culture. At the same time, the market is rapidly expanding overseas.
Rice is gaining global attention as a hypoallergenic ingredient, and rice crackers are rapidly gaining popularity around the world, particularly in the United States, driven by this health-conscious trend. Further growth is expected. Going forward, in light of the changing environment surrounding the food industry, we will pursue our "Better For You" philosophy, which represents "choosing, eating, and enjoying delicious, healthy foods, and contributing to a healthy lifestyle."
By fiscal 2030, we will strive for sustainable growth and increased corporate value, evolving from a "rice cracker and rice cracker confectionery company" to a "Better For You food company."

[Company Appeal]
■We are the industry leader, with approximately 30% of the rice cracker market in Japan.
■We aim to become a "global food company" by strengthening our domestic rice cracker business, as well as our overseas and domestic food businesses.

■We're not just expanding in Japan, we're expanding overseas. You can join us in the phase where we aim to become a "global food company" from Japan to the world.
