At the bagel specialty store "MARUICHI BAGEL," located in Shimbashi, Tokyo, we have adopted the non-fluorinated oil-resistant paper "O-hajiki" for sandwich wrapping.

In this adoption, we received recognition for the peace of mind provided by not using PFAS, our commitment to environmental considerations, and the natural texture of the paper material, which harmonizes with MARUICHI BAGEL's brand concept. Moving forward, our company will continue to develop environmentally friendly paper materials and new materials derived from wood, contributing to a sustainable society.
