Creating the Future We Want Through Pursuing Our “Takara-ness.”
Aiming to realize “Smiles in Life” through the Takara Group Long-Term Vision 2050.

The Takara Group’s corporate philosophy is “Contributing to the creation of a vital society and a healthy lifestyle through our fermentation technology and biotechnology in a way that achieves harmony with nature.” From our roots in making sake in Fushimi, Kyoto, we have expanded our businesses throughout the eras to suit changes both internal and external. Today, in addition to our founding business of alcoholic beverages, we have added biomedical and overseas businesses, and are expanding globally in these three fields.

To mark our centennial in September 2025, we formulated the Takara Group Long-Term Vision 2050. The Vision sets out our aspirations for the future as follows: “The Takara Group continues to bring smiles to people around the world by delivering a fulfilling dietary lifestyle and healthy living, and by creating new value through biotechnology.” With biotechnology as our core competence, we will work to expand our existing business areas of "Alcoholic beverages and Japanese foods" and "Life science supporting industry." In addition, we will leverage biotechnology to create value in new fields, contributing to solving social issues such as food shortages and environmental problems. And to realize these, we will deepen our bonds both within Takara and beyond, fostering a corporate culture that allows each and every employee to showcase their individuality and strengths, and generates innovation.

For social issues where global action is needed, like climate change or the protection of biodiversity and resources, we will formulate medium- to long-term goals based on the Takara Group Sustainability Policy, and work steadily to achieve these through enhancing our initiatives.

Even in this highly volatile business environment, the Takara Group will work as one to further hone our existing business fields. At the same time, we will combine our unique strengths and tackle the challenge of creating value in new fields beyond “food” and “health.”. We will contribute to building a sustainable society thanks to the creation of social value through our business activities, aiming to realize our Vision of “Smiles in Life.”

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to ask all our stakeholders for your continued understanding and warm support for the Takara Group.
