## About

Kenmin Foods was founded in Kobe in 1950 under founder Takamura Kenmin's philosophy of "bringing health (ken) to all people (min)." The flagship product, "Kenmin Yaki Bee Hoon," was launched in 1960 as the world's first instant stir-fried rice noodles, and its long history and high quality have earned it a Guinness World Record. Going beyond the scope of a typical food manufacturer, the company has recently championed "Ramen for everyone!" by opening a gluten-free ramen specialty shop at the World Expo, continuing to explore the potential of rice flour. Through a product lineup that emphasizes health and allergen-conscious options, Kenmin Foods is a specialty company leading the future of food.
