Creating a New Food Culture Responding to the Diverse Expansion of Lifestyles

“LIKE CHICKEN” is a soy-based meat alternative proposed to meet a wide range of customer needs, including vegan and gluten-free diets. With its authentic, chicken-like texture and high versatility across various menu applications, it has been adopted in hotels, restaurants, and the catering industries. Despite offering a substantial, meat-like experience, it remains high in protein and low in fat*, making it a suitable choice not only for those who do not consume meat but also for health‑conscious consumers. In addition to LIKE CHICKEN, we also offer LIKE PATTY and LIKE SAUSAGE, enabling an even broader range of menu development. By incorporating insights gathered from professional kitchens into our product lineup, we continue to support our customers in addressing their challenges.
