Description
Okyuto Seaweed Jelly Makers rehydrate seaweed in water, extract the essence, form it into a gel using heating and gelling agents, and handle forming, cooling, and packaging in an integrated manner.

Additionally, in the packaging process, they perform hygiene management and quality inspections, and create manufacturing records. Machine inspections on the production line and daily cleaning and maintenance are also important tasks.
