About Wellness Forum

In the so-called era of the 100-year lifespan today, extending healthy life expectancy has become a social issue.
ITO EN contributes to solving social issues through tea and aims to realize a society where people can "live a fulfilling life."

As we enter the global era, social challenges are becoming increasingly complex.
At the ITO EN Central Research Institute, we focus on research primarily in the field of “health and delicious taste” using a wide range of cutting-edge technologies.
We aim to propose solutions to health issues through tea by disseminating wellness-related information, contributing to the era of the 100-year lifespan, and sharing wisdom related to health.
