"First Pressed Domestic Rice Bran Oil" is a premium domestic rice bran oil made using a pressing method that has been passed down since the Edo period.

This is a precious edible oil made from domestically produced rice bran and rice germ, extracted using natural methods, and packed with abundant nutrients.
It's mild and has no strong aftertaste, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.
Because it is resistant to oxidation, it is recommended for all kinds of dishes, including dressings, mayonnaise, stir-fries, and cooked dishes.
