Our Products
Ajinomoto’s mission is to share and make French and Japanese culinary specialties accessible, through frozen food technology. By showcasing these two culinary cultures on a large scale, we stay true to our motto: “Eat Well, Live Well.”
Driven by our commitment to taste and quality, we offer Japanese specialties, such as our iconic Gyoza. We also offer exquisite French desserts, and assorted petits-fours. Our products are distributed across numerous channels in France and internationally.
We are proud to be the number one Gyoza brand in France* and Japan** and to rank among the world’s most recognized macaron manufacturers.

Founded in 1909, the Ajinomoto Group is a major player in the Japanese food industry. Since the discovery of umami and the power of amino acids, the Group has diversified over the decades into many food categories (including frozen products) but also into cutting-edge sectors such as cosmetics, healthcare, and electronic components.
