Ajinomoto Aji-Shio Flavoured Black Pepper

Aji-Shio is a prominent brand specialized in flavored pepper and salt seasonings, widely popular in Southeast Asian markets. The specific product shown is ‘Serbuk Lada Hitam Berperisa’ (Flavoured Black Pepper Powder), which is produced in Malaysia to cater to regional culinary preferences. The brand is a part of the Ajinomoto Group's extensive portfolio of flavor-enhancing products.

The brand's origin is rooted in Japan, where its parent company, Ajinomoto Co., Inc., was established following the discovery of MSG. While the Aji-Shio brand itself has a strong manufacturing and marketing presence in Malaysia through local subsidiaries, the ultimate control and intellectual property reside with the Japanese multinational. The company is a global leader in the production of amino acids and seasonings, maintaining a significant manufacturing footprint across Asia to ensure freshness and regional flavor customization.
