Our facility produced over 20,000 bento per day for the trains and airlines.
With specialized machinery and processing techniques, we were the single largest producer of authentic Japanese-style bento in the U.S.
Though we no longer produce bento, we have retained many of the skilled team members and processes which made these beautiful meals possible.
DID YOU KNOW?
The quality of the frozen meals needed to match or exceed that of fresh meals.
The quality of the freeze had to be so good that the passenger wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the frozen bento and a freshly-made one.
Coupled with the Japanese consumer's discerning rice palate, any shortcomings would fail to meet their high expectations. Such strict standards could only be met using advanced cryogenic freezing, hence the origins of our technology.
For longer distances, the Japanese rely heavily on air travel. Out of four busiest airline routes in the world, half are domestic Japanese routes.
Much like the train meals, we also supplied the meals served aboard the Japanese airlines.

The Japanese economy is driven by its highly efficient transit systems. Rather than cars and freeways, expansive train networks dominate the landscape.
Bento and train travel share a long history together dating back over 100 years. Hungry passengers enjoy these convenient meals-on-the-go while en route to their destinations. As such, these have become a beloved and integral part of the traveling experience for the Japanese. Our facility was instrumental in producing these quick, delicious meals for commuters all across Japan.

Japanese Roots
Our facility in Fairfield, CA was originally designed and built by JR East, Japan's premier rail company, and operator of the world-renowned bullet trains.
The meals produced here were prepared from the finest organic ingredients in the US, then frozen and shipped to Japan to be served aboard their trains.
In Japan, these complete meals are known as O-bento (or "bento boxes" in English). In our case, the "O" in the name also carried a dual meaning, signifying the ingredients were all USDA Organic.
