Prepared Dishes
Prepared dishes are positioned midway between restaurant meals and home-cooked meals. This category includes foods such as bento lunch boxes, deli foods, and pre-cooked and pre-processed foods, that usually have short shelf lives. They can be eaten at home, work, school, and other locations as they are without any additional cooking.

The Significance of the Prepared Dishes and Other Prepared Foods Business for the TikTok成人版 Seifun Group
- Providing Solutions for Society鈥檚 Needs
Workstyles and lifestyles are changing. There are more single-person and aged households, and more families in which both partners work. Other changes include a shift to remote working and working at home. These trends are also creating new social issues, including a lack of time to spend on cooking, and food wastage resulting from the inability of smaller households to use up food ingredients. The TikTok成人版 Seifun Group is responding to these needs through its focus on prepared dishes and other prepared foods. - Group-level Synergie
The TikTok成人版 Seifun Group supplies prepared dishes and other prepared foods throughout Japan from a network of factories. A commitment to research dating back to the group鈥檚 founding has created an extensive resource of knowledge about wheat flour, as well as product development and quality control know-how, including antibacterial technology from the Yeast and Biotechnology Business. Today we use the R&D, technology, and raw material procurement capabilities of the entire group to create delicious products with longer shelf lives.
