Wa Rising Co., Ltd. is a food innovation company dedicated to transforming Japanese culinary ideas into globally competitive businesses through product development, OEM manufacturing, and upcycled food initiatives.
At FOODEX JAPAN 2026, we will present a next-generation lineup of products that combines strong market appeal, operational reproducibility, and international scalability. Highlights include frozen candy apples that preserve a fresh fruit texture, and a dairy-free matcha sherbet that brings out the authentic aroma and clean finish of matcha, meeting the growing demand from vegan and health-conscious markets.
In addition, we introduce our upcycled food initiatives and circular agriculture systems, which utilize food by-products and reintegrate them into agricultural production. This end-to-end cycle from raw materials to products and back to agriculture is proposed as a practical, implementable business model.
Wa Rising is a partner that delivers both market-ready products and sustainable systems. At FOODEX JAPAN 2026, we aim to create new starting points for domestic and global business partnerships.
