Morinaga & Co. Ltd.
 PROFILE
Nothing quenches your thirst like a nice tall glass of jelly -- Morinaga & Co. will attest to that. The company's Weider In Jelly, a jelly-like drink touted as a health food, has become a high-sales novelty item popular among athletes and sleepy commuters in Japan. (The drink is made in conjunction with Weider Nutrition International.) A confectioner since 1918, Morinaga makes candy, including chocolates and caramels, as well as cookies, cake mixes, canned soft drinks, snack foods, and ice cream. A subsidiary operates a chain of restaurants. The company also operates two fitness centers and provides physical and nutritional counseling. Japan accounts for about 90% of sales.
