Changing how people live
and think, through the enzyme bath.
Our company carries forward the research of the legendary "Chojukan" facility and holds proper business-support certification from the Japan Institute of Enzyme Medicine. This research traces back to the pre- and post-war era, when the rice bran enzyme bath was studied quietly to protect the health of the people who sustained society at the time. At Kikuchi Kouso we honor that tradition while continuing to take on new challenges, refining our knowledge and skill every day so we can offer our customers an ever better enzyme bath experience.
Trusting yourself
to nature.
Just as good soil grows good crops, we too are part of nature. Warm, soft, and simply ourselves, like a baby — perhaps that is our truest state.
Our rice bran enzyme bath is a technique that helps the microorganisms do what comes naturally to them, so fermentation settles into balance on its own. The days that don't go as planned are part of that same nature — part of your own growth.
"The microorganisms teach us how to live" — that is our message to anyone considering opening this business. Even in the repetition of daily work, there is always something new to discover. Through the work of the enzyme bath, we hope you'll come to feel the value of living carefully alongside nature, a value that convenience alone cannot offer.
