Kenmin Foods Co., Ltd., holding the No. 1 market share for rice noodles (*1), will hold a community-open event 'Sukoyaka Kenmin Spring Festival' on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at our Sasayama Factory (Tamba-Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture, nicknamed: Be-Fun Factory SASAYAMA).
This event was planned with the desire for the local community, including the people of Tamba-Sasayama City, to visit our factory at least once.

Aligned with the spring excursion season, it is being held as a 'Spring Appreciation Event' to express our daily gratitude to the local community from the factory that has been operating in Tamba-Sasayama City for over 40 years.
