Honen likes to think Japan's Iron Chefs might not win their televised cooking battles without its oils. Honen is a leading Japanese producer of edible oils made from soybeans, as well as grapes, peanuts, and walnuts, among other fruits and grains. It also makes cornstarch, fats, feed, fertilizer, glue, and nutritional food supplements for industrial and consumer purposes. Its frozen foods include meals with actor Jackie Chan's Jackie's Kitchen Japan brand. The company has six subsidiaries, including Nikka Oils and Fats, and it also has a stake in Ventura Foods, the #2 US margarine maker, after Unilever. Diversified trading company Mitsui & Co. owns 7% of Honen.
