About the Tsuno Group

Tsuno Group Co., Ltd. has long focused on the components of rice bran—the raw material for rice bran oil—and advanced research in this area. Starting with rice bran generated during rice milling, the group operates three core businesses: rice bran oil, fine chemicals, and oleochemicals. Beyond edible oil, we fully utilize inedible parts and byproducts, enabling high-value applications across food, chemicals, healthcare, and cosmetics. Additionally, by leveraging oleochemical technologies, we recycle used cooking oil. Moving forward, we aim to create a positive cycle for the planet, producers, and consumers by maximizing the use of domestic resources.
