About Ajinomoto
Ajinomoto (味の素株式会社) is one of Japan's foundational seasoning companies, founded 1909 by Saburosuke Suzuki II (the second-generation Suzuki Saburosuke) after Kikunae Ikeda's discovery of umami (the fifth taste) in 1908. The original Aji-no-moto (味の素, "essence of taste") MSG seasoning launched May 1909 — the world's first commercial umami seasoning. The portfolio now includes Hondashi (ほんだし) bonito dashi granules, Cook Do (Cook Do®) Chinese stir-fry sauces, Hi-Me (ハイミー) umami seasoning, and the Knorr-licensed cup-soup range.
