Building on a long tradition for the future

Throughout history, people have consumed maple foods such as syrup from the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and red maple  (A. rubrum) sap for health and nutrition. In Japan, there is a long tradition of drinking tea from the Nikko maple (A. nikoense) leaves. Japanese maple leaf tempura and extract has been part of the Japanese cuisine. In China, maple is used as Kanpo folk medicine for inflammation or analgesic therapy. Recent academic research indicates that there is credence to the traditional view of the health aspects of maple foods and drinks.

We aim to build on this tradition for the future and invite international corporate and restaurant customers to learn more about our products and partnership opportunities.
