Crafting through Tradition,
Thriving with Nutrition
Once a cornerstone of Japan’s prosperity, sericulture—born over 5,000 years ago—is now quietly fading into history. Through joint research with Shinshu University, one of the world's top silkworm researchers, we have discovered the amazing nutritional power of silkworms. The powder has an aroma and color similar to matcha (powdered green tea), and has a variety of functions that help maintain good health. This one-of-a-kind material that combines tradition and functionality can be used as is or in product applications, bringing new options to society in the future.
Global Challenges to Solve
The challenge of multifaceted protein challenges
posed by disease, aging, population explosion, global warming, and more.
Raw Material Development
MorSilk Powder is a next-generation functional ingredient derived from 100% silkworm. It is low in fat and rich in essential amino acids and unique ingredients such as 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) and silk proteins. With a natural matcha-like flavor, it is a new nutritional option that combines health and sustainability.
Product Development / Sales
Through our own functional food brand “KAIKO®” based on MorSilk Powder, we propose new ways to drink to improve the body's foundation and reach immunity and circulation from the inside.
Joint Research
In collaboration with companies and research institutions, we are engaged in multifaceted joint research, including research on the nutritional functions of raw materials, basic research on silkworm ecology and breeding, and the development of mass production technologies and facilities.
OEM Business
Provides OEM manufacturing using silkworm-derived high-performance materials. We provide integrated support from raw material supply to commercialization by integrating silkworm research and food science. We work together to develop products with superior functionality, safety, and flavor.
