素材 -Ingredients-

Our pickling process starts in the fields with a commitment to using domestically grown vegetables.
Our president and staff personally visit and carefully select vegetables cultivated by contracted farmers in Japan, primarily in our hometown of Oyama.

安全 -Safety-

"Delicious" also means "safe."

We are fully committed to safeguarding food safety, from vegetable cultivation to food processing and factory environments.

味 -Taste-

Obaneya's pickles capture the true flavor of vegetables.
Using clear water from Oyama City, carefully selected soy sauce and salt, and a fermentation process that requires time and effort, Obaneya creates pickles with a unique flavor.

Obaneya can be traced back to burdock root, a health food.

Obaneya began with burdock root and has grown alongside it.

We remain committed to using only carefully selected, 100% Japanese ingredients, and we continue to craft our unique burdock pickles using the delicious spring water from Oyama City in Tochigi Prefecture. We take pride in the taste that comes from our honed techniques and dedication. We also take pride in our burdock pickles being the best in Japan.

Obaneya is also challenging itself to develop products beyond pickles. While preserving Japan's traditional flavors, we strive to further develop our products, delivering safe and reliable pickles both domestically and internationally.

The Benefits of Burdock Root

Burdock root is a root vegetable rich in dietary fiber and inulin. Its unique flavor and texture add depth to dishes, bringing health and richness to everyday meals.

Burdock root is said to have numerous health benefits for the body, as follows:

Antioxidant effect：
Prevents skin aging, stroke, and heart disease
Antibacterial and insect-repellent effects：
Prevents colds, boosts immunity
Damage-repair effects：

Prevents cancer
Intestinal regulation effects：
Improves constipation, prevents colon diseases

Antioxidant effect

Burdock root is rich in dietary fiber.
It is said to help suppress cholesterol absorption, control blood cholesterol levels, and slow the rise in blood sugar.

Antibacterial and insect-repellent effects

It is also said to help prevent and improve arteriosclerosis.

Damage-repair effects

It helps absorb carcinogens in the intestines, which may help prevent colon cancer.
Burdock is packed with nutrients, including saponins and inulin.
Burdock's characteristic crisp texture comes from the carbohydrate inulin. Inulin has a diuretic effect and enhances kidney function. Saponins possess powerful antioxidant properties. Therefore, burdock is expected to help prevent aging and maintain youthfulness.

Intestinal regulation effects

Burdock root is rich in oligosaccharides, which help promote beneficial bacteria in the gut and improve intestinal health.
Therefore, burdock root is said to be effective for relieving constipation.

Given these potential benefits, let's start incorporating the miraculous power of burdock into our daily lives, starting today!

In addition to burdock root, we develop and offer a variety of other high-quality, healthy products made with different vegetables.
