Business Details
The core business manufacturing and selling meat-related seasonings, nabe (hot pot) seasonings, vegetable-related seasonings, soups, and other products. Consists of two axes: household-use products (Ogon no Tare, Petitto Nabe, Nabeshabu, etc.) and commercial-use products (ramen soup, gara soup, etc.). In addition to domestic manufacturing and sales, the company has a sales network through overseas local subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and China. Also includes consolidated subsidiaries Maruni Co., Ltd. (noodle and granular seasonings) and EBARA FOODS (THAILAND) CO., LTD. (local manufacturing and sales).
Recent Overview
Driven by Nabe (Hot Pot) and Other product groups, Food Business sales rose 5.1% year on year to ¥42,412 million.
Food Business sales in FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥42,412 million (up 5.1% year on year), and segment profit was ¥2,766 million (up 4.3% year on year). In household-use products, Nabe (Hot Pot) Seasonings (up 8.1% year on year) and Other Products (up 17.6% year on year) grew, while Meat-related Seasonings declined 1.5% year on year due to the impact of prolonged high meat prices. Commercial-use products saw increased sales driven by Soups (up 10.4% year on year) and the full-year contribution of Maruni Co., Ltd. As an extraordinary item, structural transformation costs of ¥502 million associated with the reorganization of the domestic manufacturing structure were recorded.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Increased sales of household-use products through expansion of the Nabe (Hot Pot) Seasonings and Other (portion seasonings) product lineups and stronger promotions
- Expansion of Other commercial-use product sales through the consolidation effect of Maruni Co., Ltd.
- Expanded contribution from overseas operations due to increased commercial-use product sales at local subsidiaries in various Asian countries (overseas sales ratio of 5.1%)
- Strengthened manufacturing capacity through production facility investment (increase in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of ¥3,067 million) based on the medium-term management plan "Ebara Reboot 2026"
- Continued growth measures for FY2027 (ending March 2027), including expanded sales of portion seasonings and expansion of overseas sales channels
Risks
- Increased manufacturing costs due to further rises in raw material prices (cooking oil, sugar, soy sauce ingredients, etc.) and energy prices
- Suppressed demand for household-use products (especially Meat-related Seasonings) due to continued consumer thrift
- Sluggish demand for Meat-related Seasonings due to prolonged high meat prices (both household-use and commercial-use declined year on year in FY2026, ending March 2026)
- Incurrence of structural transformation costs associated with the reorganization of the domestic manufacturing structure (¥502 million recorded in FY2026, ending March 2026, expected to continue in FY2027, ending March 2027)
- Profit pressure from increased depreciation (¥1,574 million in FY2026, ending March 2026, up 12.3% year on year)
- Unforeseen fluctuations in raw material and energy prices and the logistics environment due to heightened geopolitical risk
