About this place
Tsuno Food Industrial Co., Ltd. is a food and ingredient maker in Ito District, Wakayama Prefecture, with its head office there, centered on rice bran oil. Promoting advanced and effective use of rice bran, it runs three businesses. The founder, Tsuno Masaji, after the war, with the thought "I want to contribute to society through a business that can provide a stable supply of food," founded a barley-milling plant designated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in February 1947. Later, as barley consumption declined, as a diversification of business it entered oil refining using rice bran as raw material.
