Rapeseed oil currently accounts for the largest domestic oil production at 1.03 million tonnes, followed by soybean oil. Rapeseed oil and soybean oil account for 80% of the oil produced in Japan but OTA OIL’s oil production is not limited to these materials (thus the reason why it is called special oil).

The company extracts oil from carefully selected ingredients and continues to produce tasty and healthy oils using its unique technique. In the diversifying needs for oil, the pursuit of good taste, health and functionality has led to its use in many different fields. As well as cooking, the range of uses extends to processed foods, health foods, cosmetics and many other applications.
