Beyond menthol, Takasago is a full-service flavor and fragrance house with strong positions in fine fragrance in Japan and Asia — particularly in skin care and personal care fragrance for Japanese cosmetics companies — and in food flavors across dairy, beverage, and confectionery applications. The company’s menthol production through its unique asymmetric synthesis route — developed in partnership with Nobel Prize-winning chemist Ryoji Noyori — gives it a cost and purity advantage in synthetic L-menthol production.
