Have you heard of a “kotatsu”? It's a unique Japanese table that brings people together for warmth and dining and is a tradition that can support #WellBeing.     The Ajinomoto Group found that people who ate together with others more than four days a week experienced 1.6 times more well-being than those who didn’t eat together at all.   From Mt. Fuji in Japan to Cappadocia in Turkey, the Eiffel Tower in France, and Corcovado in Brazil – we imagined enjoying "kotatsu“ dining together in places of extraordinary beauty around the world. Take a look at these visions below👇    Moving forward, the Ajinomoto Group will continue to promote ways to achieve well-being through food.     Read more about how the Ajinomoto Group is contributing to the well-being of society here: https://lnkd.in/giJiyJE

Yoshiteru Masai, General Manager of Food Products Division of Ajinomoto Co., Inc., recently visited Ajinomoto del Perú S.A. in Lima and the Chile Branch in Santiago.    Masai explored the local market and reviewed the distribution of the Ajinomoto Group products and competitors' offerings. He also toured the Callao production plant and visited Conzac market in Lima.     During his visit, he discussed “Orchestration” with local members, a concept based on his own experience as a musician, emphasizing how individual parts of an organization must come together to create harmony and rhythm. This process involves proactive connections between individuals and parts, forming an unprecedented orchestra.     In Peru, the event included a chorus of a team song composed by the local sales team to encourage and inspire themselves, conducted by Masai himself.    Masai's purpose was to visit the countries surrounding the Andes Mountains, where further business growth is expected. Peru has grown to become the second most important market after the five major countries, which we call the five stars. And with Peru as a base, exports to neighboring countries are growing. Among them, this time he visited Chile and provided valuable insights and suggestions for accelerating growth in Chile and Latin America in general.    The Ajinomoto Group will continue to strive towards fulfilling its 2030 vision, focusing on Food and Wellness as one of the Group’s growth areas.    To learn more about the four growth areas, visit the link below:  https://lnkd.in/dUdWKKWE   #WeAreAjinomotoGroup #EatWellLiveWell #Leadership #Orchestration #SustainableDevelopment 

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 highlights groundbreaking work in protein science 🏆🔬 Half for David Baker from University of Washington and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), with his innovative creation of entirely new proteins, and the other half for the AI-driven model developed jointly by Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper from Google DeepMind that predicts complex protein structures. These discoveries are game-changing, showing how proteins, made from amino acids, drive life’s essential processes and hold immense potential for medicine, sustainability, and more. Congratulations! 🎉 The Nobel Prize reinforces what the Ajinomoto Group has championed for years—the incredible potential of amino acids to create a positive impact as an essential part for living organisms.

🍽 Eat Deliciously! – In celebration of World Food Day on October 16th, we’re excited to highlight a concept that has been at the heart of the Ajinomoto Group's mission. Over 100 years ago, “Eat Deliciously!” was a kind of “instruction manual”, a book with 18 pages, which was introduced for households to prepare flavorful, nutritious meals using AJI-NO-MOTO® But what does “Eat Deliciously!” really mean? It means ensuring meals are rich in flavor, while supporting healthy eating such as sodium reduction, by using AJI-NO-MOTO®, which is a source of umami substance. Umami is the "fifth taste" that enhances the flavor of dishes and makes eating more enjoyable. The Ajinomoto Group is committed to encouraging people enjoy and share easy, affordable, and healthy meals for all, contributing to the well-being of all the people, our society and our planet 🍛🍣🌱 Click the link below to read more about the concept of “Eat Deliciously!”:   https://lnkd.in/ez4nyF8H #WeAreAjinomotoGroup #EatDeliciously #Umami #WorldFoodDay #OishikuMeshiagare

By incorporating this solution, the partnership aims to reduce feed costs, and significantly cut GHG emissions, contributing to a more sustainable dairy supply chain.
