http://www.mitoku.com/MITOKU Company, Ltd. has been the leading exporter of high quality traditional Japanese natural and organic foods for more than 30 years. Since that time, Mitoku's purpose has been to introduce to the West the highest quality foods with an "Authentic Taste of Traditional Japan." We strongly believe that the diet that developed in Japan over the past several centuries can make a great contribution to the Western world in its search for foods that are not only wholesome, nutritious and health-promoting, but also delicious, attractive and satisfying. Mitoku's motto is "Food Is Medicine." Many traditional Japanese foods, such as miso, shoyu, green tea, shiitake and maitake mushrooms, kuzu, and umeboshi, have long been prized in the East for their medicinal qualities. Over the years, we have seen scientific research verify the beneficial effects of these foods on even such degenerative diseases as cancer and heart disease. Mitoku has long been involved in the organic foods movement, and in more recent years, has become involved in opposing the proliferation of genetically engineered foods. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, even in the face of increasingly severe sales competition from products made by quicker, cheaper, mass production methods.
