Supporting the rich food culture of Japan through beverages, processed foods, and other products
Flavors add aromas and tastes to beverages and foods, and determine deliciousness. Ogawa delivers flavors for a wide range of products, including processed foods, desserts, confections, coffee, juice, and tea. In the field of tea in particular, our extensive research of the aromatic ingredients of freshly brewed green tea starting from before the appearance of PET bottle tea beverages has made us the top choice for supply of green tea. But our success is hardly confined to green tea; we have been highly evaluated by many beverage and food manufacturers.
