[Nanakoshi Seika] Nanakoshi's Dream: Wishing for 'Eight' (Infinite) Happiness Beyond the Lucky 'Seven' for Everyone.

Nanakoshi Seika (Headquarters: Saitama City; President: Yoichi Kataoka), which manufactures and sells rice crackers using traditional methods, celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024. As part of the 'April Dream' project—a day to share dreams—the company will enter its 42nd year on April 1, 2026. Its long-selling product 'Teage-mochi' (hand-fried mochi) will mark its 27th year since launch.

At Nanakoshi Seika, we are dedicated to time-consuming traditional methods and provide rice crackers hand-crafted by skilled artisans, earning high praise from rice cracker lovers across Japan. The company name, Nanakoshi, was chosen by founder Shichiro Kataoka with the wish that 'happiness of the number eight (symbolizing expanding prosperity), which goes beyond the lucky number seven, may visit everyone.' (Everyone refers to the 'Seven Wa' or Seven Harmonies of Nanakoshi).

[Nanakoshi's Dream: Realizing the Corporate Philosophy] Through the 'Seven Harmonies' and towards the 'Seven Harmonies,' we strive to be a company that continues to deliver the 'joy of wrapping' and the 'delight of holding.'

[Artisan Craftsmanship] The press release features Shichiro Kataoka during his apprenticeship and the meticulous work of modern artisans. Skilled craftsmen carefully hand-fry the crackers at the perfect timing to ensure delicious results. One bite makes you want another and another.

[Product Lineup] The lineup includes Teage-mochi in soy sauce, salt, Camembert cheese, and shichimi (seven-flavor chili) flavors, as well as a 'Soft Salt' version with a gentler texture and 'Shrimp Salt' packed with the umami of shrimp. Some products are also available in convenient zippered aluminum stand-up pouches.
