Mizkan Chef

Mizkan’s commitment to quality also led it to champion the distinction of brewed vinegar against synthetic vinegar, and to establish one of the first bottling vinegar plants in Japan. In late 20th century, Matazaemon VII reiterated Mizkan’s focus on the quality of products with a new corporate philosophy “Offering the customers only the finest products” which together with “bringing flavour to life”, demonstrates Mizkan pride in making food that nourishes people. Nowadays, Mizkan is one of the largest privately-owned global food companies and the number one vinegar company in Japan, with operations across America, Europe and Asia. To add to its portfolio of market-leading Japanese products, Mizkan acquired the much-loved British brands Branston, Sarson’s, Haywards and Dufrais in 2012 and 2013, further cementing its position as condiments and seasoning category experts.
