Food OEM Matching

Product pamphlet / Kowa Sangyo Co.

We produced a product information pamphlet for Kowa Sangyo, a manufacturer and seller of seasonings and spices in Minami-ku, Fukuoka City.
In conjunction with the renewal of the corporate website, we were asked to create a product catalog that would also serve as a company brochure that could be used as a sales tool.

Rather than simply listing products, the client wanted to focus on the layout with product images as the main focus, and also wanted to include cooking recipes.
In order to create a simple design structure with photographs as the main focus, we not only posted product package images, but also had our own photographer take sizzling, realistic photos of cooking examples in our in-house studio.

The paper used is satin Kintoki with a matte texture.
The brochure was finished exactly as requested because of the material's ability to beautifully render photographs.

Hokkai Tako Senbei (octopus cracker) bag / Sugi Seika Co.

We produced a design for the bag of "Umami Pursuit Hokkai Tako Senbei" (octopus cracker) for Sugi Seika, a confectionery manufacturer in Aichi Prefecture.

This is a mainstay product that is set to be sold at major convenience stores.
The product had been sold for a long time, but the client wanted to revamp the design to match the times and express the quality of the product.

Shochu "Yumeso Tensei" label / by Hikari Shuzo

We produced a label for Hikari Shuzo's shochu "Yumesotensei" in Kasuya-cho, Fukuoka Prefecture.

The client wanted a design using a luxurious blue color, so we first selected a base paper with high reproducibility of blue.
The colors were also carefully matched to the image through a series of prototypes in either special colors or colors.

In the final version, the original paper is white, and the background color cream is represented by printing.
The color did not sink in, and we were able to express the customer's image.

Sake "9" label / Yamaguchi Shuzo Brewery

We produced a sake label for Yamaguchi Sake Brewery, which was founded in 1832 in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

“We were asked to propose labels for three new sake products that use ”No. 9 yeast" in different proportions of rice polishing: Junmai Ginjo 60, Junmai Ginjo 50, and Junmai Ginjo 35.
With an eye toward overseas exports, the design was designed with a symbolic symbolism in mind, using the number "9" as a motif.
While evoking a distinctly Japanese culture, such as ink painting, it also expresses the primary color scheme favored overseas and the novelty of abstract painting.

Silver glossy namer is used for the base paper to create a metallic look.
We appreciate the unique design.

Label for coffee bag / Kotobukiya Coffee Beverage Co.

We produced product labels for mail-order gift items for Kotobukiya Coffee Beverage Company, a manufacturer and seller of coffee products in Naka-ku, Hiroshima City.
We proposed and received a design proposal for our flagship product, Kotobukiya A-Blend Coffee, which is made from carefully selected raw beans and carefully baked to perfection.

We designed and created a symbol that evokes the "Kotobuki" of Kotobukiya with coffee, and used special gold and silver shiny foil paper to express the elegance and luxury of the company's signature coffee blends.

Nagasaki Castella White" package / Susakiya

Susakiya, a manufacturer and seller of Gosan-yaki sponge cakes in Minamishimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, requested us to produce packaging for their "Nagasaki Castella White.
The overall color of the kastela is white to express a sense of luxury, as it is made of hand-baked, white dough made from the best materials available.
The "white" character, the pillar of the design, was written in large brush strokes by an in-house calligrapher, and the gold foil portion was embossed.

As differentiating elements, the FSC certification mark for forest conservation and the "CO2 Zero Printing" mark, which indicates that the product was manufactured in an environmentally friendly factory, are also displayed.
We were particular about the paper quality, and after trying several base papers, we finally adopted "Fritter 90k + back white coated ball 310g" which has a soft, cotton-like texture.
By creating a simple yet striking design with a luxurious feel, we were able to make the product stand out on the sales floor.

Later, I was also in charge of designing and producing sales promotion tools and creating a sales floor that matched the product image.

Sweet Potato Shochu "Hamako 10-year storage" label / Fukiage Shochu Co.

We produced a label for a sweet potato shochu called "Hamako 10-year storage" for Fukiage Shochu in Minami-Satsuma City, Kagoshima Prefecture.
At the time of the request, we had not yet decided on the name of the product other than to use the "Hamakomachi" variety of sweet potato, but we wanted a design that did not look like a conventional product, targeting a younger demographic.
Marushin proposed a simple but eye-catching design on the sales floor, along with the product name "Hamako," which is easy to call and remember.
For the base paper, an art paper type that can be machine laminated was selected.
By partially applying gold foil, the label expresses added value while keeping costs down.

Sake "Taki Series" label / Narutaki Shuzo

We produced labels for the "Taki Series" of Japanese sake for the Narutaki Sake Brewery in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture.
The company wanted a label design with a refreshing image of clean water flowing from a waterfall to accompany the launch of a new "Taki" brand as a limited distribution product.
The design features the word "waterfall" written by an in-house calligrapher at the center of the design, with a silver-pica base that adds texture and sparkle to create an overall fresh image.

The design was highly evaluated and adopted.

Landing page (LP) for "Karada Yokokobu Seaweed Plus"/Sugi Seika Co.

We created a landing page (LP) for "Karada Yokokobu Seaweed Plus," the first health-conscious product for Sugi Seika, a confectionary manufacturer in Aichi Prefecture.

Since we were in charge of the product's package design, we were asked to create an LP to convey the product's appeal.
Elements of the package design were incorporated directly into the LP design, and the design was linked so that the product and product page would have a unified feel.
In addition, the structure was based not only on design but also on consumer psychology.

Because the appeal points of the product were clear, the LP was able to fully convey the appeal of the product to the target audience.

Mail order site / Mr. Fujichiku

The actual page can be viewed here

We produced a mail order website "Horse Sashimi and Kuroge Wagyu Beef Specialty Store" for Fujichiku, which produces horse sashimi in Kumamoto.
The company had opened a store in an online mall such as Rakuten Ichiba, but when launching a new in-house shopping site, they wanted a shopping site that would differentiate them from their competitors.
Therefore, we proposed to create a new brand image by creating a Western-style worldview reminiscent of a European bar, thereby removing the Japanese image of horse sashimi.

In response to this, we not only built the mail-order website, but also designed the brand logo to be used and had our exclusive photographer shoot the images to be used on the site.
In addition, the company adopted our proposal to enhance the total product value by consistently producing labels and stickers, gift boxes, handbags, and pamphlets to match the design of the mail-order website.

Mail order site / Marumatsu Sangyo Co.

The actual page can be viewed here

We created a mail order website for Marmatu Sangyo, a comprehensive meat manufacturer located in Katsuragawa-cho, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The company mainly manufactures products for food supermarkets, but due to many requests from the general public to purchase products directly from the company, the client requested the launch of a B-to-C mail-order website.

We proposed a design for the character “Marumatsu-kun” to match the company's "stamina food" image, based on the theme of a friendly mail-order website.
The fun is expressed through the leading lines and illustrations introduced by characters at various points on the site.
The company liked the design of "Marumatsu-kun" so much that it became an official character, and the character is now attached to products and other items.

Mail order site／Rakunoh Farm Takeshita

The actual page can be viewed here

The "Official Online Shop" of Raku-Noh Farm Takeshita, a strawberry farmer in Okawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, has been renewed.

At the time of the request, the start of strawberry reservations was just around the corner and renewal was required as quickly as possible.
Therefore, we first created a product LP of "Fully Ripe Amaou" to strengthen sales of our mainstay products. As a result, bookings increased three times compared to last year.
The site has since become a year-round sales site with increased appeal on the product pages for processed products.
Photography was also conducted both onsite and in the studio in order to prepare content that conveyed the producer's thoughts and high quality and photographs that matched that expression.

In addition to providing post-production management support for websites, we also create gift product package designs tailored to the target market.

Brand Site / Kyushu Yakuhin Kogyo Co.

The actual page can be viewed here

We created the brand website "Kyushu Green Farm" for Kyushu Yakuhin Kogyo, a manufacturer and seller of green juice.

The website was designed to convey the brand's world view and product appeal, targeting families, as Aojiru has a wide variety of flavors and is easy for the whole family to enjoy, even for small children. We were involved in the comprehensive development of the brand website, from photography to page production, paying particular attention to images that convey a “lifestyle with Aojiru.
In addition to the "Kyuguri Tsushin" article submission function, which is designed to be an information transmission site for consumers, the product list page also leads to a mail order site for product purchases, and so on.

Mail order site / Tanaka Seimen Co.

The actual page can be viewed here

We renewed the mail order site of Tanaka Seimen, a noodle factory in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

In order to strengthen the mail-order business, the client requested a review of the existing mail-order site as well, and we designed the pages to emphasize trial sets and seasonal products that would lead to sales promotions, as well as to change the cart system.
We also provided full support to the mail-order staff in charge of mail-order sales, including lectures on how to use the cart system and advice on order-taking and shipping systems, all of which were necessary to strengthen the mail-order business.

Corporate site, Mail order site / Hita Soy Sauce

The actual page can be viewed here

We created a corporate and mail order website for Hita Soy Sauce, a manufacturer and distributor of miso and soy sauce in Hita City, Oita Prefecture.

We wish to redesign the existing mail order site and make it easier for consumers to purchase.
We proposed integrating the separate corporate and mail-order websites, focusing on the three main products and designing the main products to stand out on the TOP page.
We have made it easy for first-time users to understand information about the company and its products, and easy for them to select products.

Cards for Christmas DM, coffee labels/Kyusyu Oyakudome Honpo

This is a set of Christmas DMs sent to loyal customers of the mail-order website "Kyushu Oyakata Honpo". Postcards printed on cardboard were combined with coffee label designs to create a DM with a special Christmas feel.

Cheesecake Gift Box / Kyushu Oretaki Honpo

We produced a gift box (pastebox) for Basque cheese cake for the mail order website "Kyushu Oyakayori Honpo". We produced a limited edition gift box with a pastebox to make the basque cheese cake, which had been in private demand, into a value-added product that could be chosen as a gift.

Boxes for mail delivery / Kyushu Oyakayori Honpo

We produced a box for click post (mail delivery) for the mail order site "Kyushu Oyakayome Honpo". On the front side, we placed illustrations of Kyushu's tourist attractions, creating a design that is typical of a mail order site for Kyushu's gourmet foods. The back side is designed in navy, the image color of Kyushu Oyakayohonpo, with white letters thanking customers for their purchases, making the design enjoyable even after the package is opened. In addition, environmentally friendly materials are used, and an environmentally friendly mark is printed inside the box.

Leaflet included in the package, DM catalog/Kyusyu Oyakoyori Honpo

We produced a product bundled leaflet and a seasonal DM catalog for "Kyushu Oyakoye Honpo," a mail order website operated by Marushin.

We produced a label for the sake “NUDY” for Wakatakeya Sake Brewery in Tanushimaru-cho, Fukuoka Prefecture, which has been in business for over 300 years. The client requested a stylish design that evokes a sexy adult image. The sake rice used in the brewery's sake is easy to drink and allows the sake drinker to experience the "unadulterated" taste and flavor of the original rice, so we submitted several ideas, and a design that looks like a grain of rice wearing pants was adopted. The label design was innovative and playful, and many people still buy it in packets today.

Sake Label / Wakatakeya Sake Brewery

We designed the sake label for Wakatakeya Sake Brewery, which won the world's first prize in the World Label Contest. Since the year of production was a historical year in which the new sake title was changed to "2025," we used a passage from the Manyoshu, the oldest anthology of Japanese poetry, which is the origin of the word for the new title, "Hatsuharu no Reiki Tsuki" (The first moon of spring), and used cherry wood as the backing to create the image of a "moon" with a different expression on each piece of wood, using analog variable. The design of the label is unique in the world, and the grain of the wood is unique to each piece of wood.

Kouji amazake label / Arrows International, Inc.

We produced labels for "3 Kinds of Koji Amazake" for Arrows International Co. The labels were manufactured by laser cutting. Laser cutting enables detailed design expression that cannot be reproduced with a blade mold.
