Ogawa Industrial

Founded in 1908 by Ogawa Takejiro, the company began as Ogawa Shoten, producing mochi (rice cakes) and senbei (rice crackers), before expanding to manufacturing kinako (roasted soybean flour) and mugicha (barley tea). In 1956, second generation Ogawa Shigeo established Ogawa Industrial, with third generation Ogawa Yoshio taking over in 1989. Committed to traditional methods using stone ovens, the company produces signature products like Ogawa Kinako made from 100% Fukuyutaka soybeans from Saga Prefecture and the Tsubumaru® barley tea series, crafted from premium domestic six-row barley. In 2012, they received the Excellent Company commendation in the Edogawa City Industrial Awards.
