NINZIA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Kobe; Representative Director, CEO & CRO: Masahiro Yoridama) presented and exhibited at "SusHi Tech TOKYO 2026," Asia's largest innovation event held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 27th to 29th, 2026, as part of the Foodα X Tokyo initiative.
During the session held on April 27th, with the theme "The Forefront of Food, City, and Technology Implementation: Foodα X Tokyo," discussions were held with speakers from diverse fields such as urban development, food manufacturers, and startup support, focusing on social implementation and co-creation examples in the food sector.
On the public day of April 29th, NINZIA exhibited in the Open Innovation Area, offering tastings of "Ninja Cracker" and "Granola," which utilize NINZIA's unique technology, to general visitors.
**Introducing "NINZIA BOSAI" as part of the Foodα X Tokyo initiative**
During the April 27th session, the social implementation of food originating from "the city" was introduced, against the backdrop of the Foodα X Tokyo initiative, which has been adopted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "TiB Catapult Project."
The session also introduced the circular stock model "NINZIA BOSAI," a joint effort by Ikeda Sugar Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and NINZIA, sharing the concept of "active rolling stock"—consuming and circulating emergency food in daily life rather than segregating it as "emergency-only."
NINZIA proposes a way of eating that does not separate daily life from disaster situations, through plant-based food designs that are easy to eat at room temperature.
**Public Tasting Offered at Open Innovation Area**
On the public day of April 29th, NINZIA exhibited a booth in the Open Innovation Area and provided food products utilizing its unique technology to general visitors.
On that day, "Ninja Cracker" and "Granola" utilizing the konjac-derived ingredient "NinjaPaste" were offered as samples.
**Texture Engineering to "Transcend Dietary Restrictions"**
NINZIA focuses on the potential of konjac, an ancient Japanese plant-based ingredient, and develops its unique "texture engineering technology."
"NinjaPaste," a konjac-derived ingredient, is a unique material that enables the binding, molding, and texture design of food without relying on sugar, fat, or animal-derived ingredients, and is being utilized in a wide range of fields such as gluten-free foods, plant-based foods, and disaster preparedness foods.
The company aims to realize a "world where everyone can enjoy eating, transcending 'dietary restrictions' such as diabetes, obesity, and allergies," promoting the social implementation and global expansion of Japanese food technology.

Starting from the Shinbashi/Toranomon area, startups, operating companies, and urban development stakeholders collaborate to promote the social implementation of sustainable food through demonstration experiments and co-creation on the stage of "in the city."
