  We are advancing the appointment of female executives and fostering an organizational culture where everyone can fully demonstrate their abilities, regardless of gender.

Protecting the Environment

With gratitude for the nature of Hida, and a commitment to passing its blessings on to future generations, we carry out daily initiatives aimed at creating a sustainable society.

• Efficient Use of Resources

  We strive to reduce environmental impact in our manufacturing processes by conserving water and electricity and minimizing waste.

• Contribution to Forest Conservation

  We participate in Gifu Prefecture’s forest conservation project, “Seiryu no Kuni Gifu J-VER,” donating a portion of our profits to help preserve the rich natural environment.

• Reducing Food Loss with Long-Lasting Noodles

  Shimizuya’s fresh noodles use proprietary technology to allow long-term storage, significantly reducing food loss. They comply with Japan’s “one-third rule” and help prevent expiration both domestically and overseas. Proper inventory management also enables planned production, contributing to better working conditions for our employees.
