Oishi Prawn Crackers

Oishi is a major snack brand that originated in the Philippines. It was launched by the Liwayway Marketing Corporation, a company that began as a small starch and coffee repacking business in Manila following World War II. In 1974, the company expanded into the snack food industry, creating the Oishi Prawn Crackers and Kirei Yummy Flakes using Japanese technology.

Over the decades, Oishi has become a dominant force in the Asian snack market. It is manufactured in various locations across Asia, including the Philippines, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, and India, to serve local and international demand. The ultimate owner remains the Philippines-based Liwayway Group, which continues to manage the brand's global expansion and product innovation.
