It has long been said that vinegar and plums are good for one’s health. On the basis that the citric acid contained in these foodstuffs has beneficial effects on health, through joint efforts with the Iwakuni Research Institute of Nippon Paper Chemicals Industries Co., Ltd., Nihon Kosen developed a vinegar-based health drink, La Vamont, in 1981, which has been favorably received nationwide ever since it was launched. Nihon Kosen’s wish is the health of everyone in Japan.
