RiceWrap Foods delivers on the long-standing need for

high quality frozen sushi, rice shapes and appetizers. Healthy ingredients, unique recipes, state-of-the-art food

processing technology and patent pending manufacturing processes differentiate RiceWraps™.

The

RiceWrap Story

RiceWrap Foods was formed out of the passionate search for quality frozen sushi.

Owner and founder Richard Cronk sought to

manage high overhead and costs associated with

on-site sushi chef operations in his rural upscale

restaurants. He sampled product from companies

that sold pre-prepared, frozen sushi rolls. Although

the product proved to be convenient and

reasonably priced, the taste and texture, upon

thawing, did not deliver palatable sushi rice. It was

within this product vacuum that RiceWrap was

founded.

Two years of research, experimentation and product

development ensued, by Cronk, his son Kyle and

“professional taste tester” Ken Maruyama. Their

efforts resulted in the creation of RiceWrap’s platform

technology of frozen sushi rice. This unique blend of

natural ingredients and procedure yielded, upon

standard thawing techniques, an exceptional quality

of taste and texture. The attributes of fresh sushi rice,

including the slight “bounce back” and perceptible

individual rice kernel, coupled with the convenience

of a frozen product was realized. On December 17th

2011, application was made for a Patent on this

applied science.

The groundbreaking importance of freezing sushi

and being able to thaw with no deleterious effects

is referenced in an article by Mr. Graeme Glen in

AMEFT (Asia & Middle East Food Trade Journal):

“For years, the ‘holy grail’ of the sushi business has

been to develop the technology to freeze it…frozen,

stored, and defrosted with no discernible side

effects…comes out of the freezer as fresh as it went

in… no special defrosting equipment… entirely

natural.”

With an eye for nutrition and the desire to create a

healthy line of products, RiceWrap production of

their first frozen Fusion Rolls with perfect rice began.

While RiceWrap was Beta testing product in numerous

venues they met with a west coast venture capitalist of

Asian heritage. Knowledgeable of rice and sushi and

with a global network and perspective, he and his

colleagues joined Company principals for a tasting of

the product line and a roundtable visit.

Their consensus: “RiceWrap will be DISRUPTIVE in the

food industry.” Their conclusion was driven by taste and

texture, and what they felt would be the product’s

impact on customers and consumers…all driven by

RiceWrap’s proprietary technology.

RiceWrap Krisps™, an appetizer line, were created with

three markets in mind;

Catering

Restaurants

Retail supermarkets and convenience stores

The Krisps™ were developed using Coats™ Double

Toasted Crunchy Panko covering of RiceWrap’s tasty

rice, with natural flavorings. The result: delicious,

healthy, low fat, low calorie, “New Appetizer” with a

serious crunch. Breaded for frying, as well as a Heat-n-

Serve Krisp, offer flexibility regardless of venue.

Rounding out the frozen RiceWrap line of products,

appropriately, are the Rice Shapes. These two offerings,

pre-formed Rice Pillows for nigiri toppings and the Slice

of Rice™, are the ultimate testaments to RiceWrap’s

cutting edge technology. Considered “the sliced

bread of the rice world”, Slice of Rice™ is designed for

home and venue chefs as a “roll your own” product.

Both products offer the end user the benefits of time-

saving convenience and ease of use.

The bottom line is driven by the quality, taste, and

distribution impact from the RiceWrap rice. The RICE is

our platform technology.

It’s all about the rice...

No matter the venue, eat in or

take out, RiceWrap delivers

consistent fresh taste and texture,

scalability and shelf life.

technology combines ingredients

and processes to produce and

freeze consistent product for

through domestic and export

market venues where specialty

service employees can:

conventionally thaw product with

no special equipment, cut, plate

and serve.

Overcome high labor costs; lack

of experienced rice/sushi chefs in

growing markets, inconvenience;

health code risks/costs; product

hand rolling. Competitive frozen

products fail to provide consistent

fresh taste, texture or meet

Ingredients

RiceWrap ingredients have and always will be, sourced with an eye to create the

healthiest and freshest rice based product line available. Our cutting edge

concern, which is ahead of the trend, is to provide seasoned sushi rice with no

cane sugars. Currently, five of our seven offers are Vegan and Gluten Free!

Our rice utilizes only organic rice vinegar, is Gluten Free, with no cane sugars and

low sodium, no fat, no cholesterol, no artificial colorings or flavors and no

preservatives. Unique to the sushi rice world, ours is diabetic and tooth friendly.

Consistency

RiceWrap Foods was created to fill the void of not only a frozen rice product that

when placed into service had excellent fresh taste and texture, but also the void in

a consistent sushi Fusion Roll.

From the exact amount of filtered water to wash the rice, to the amount of time to

absorb the water, to the level of water to cook the rice, to the intricacies of timely

ingredient additions, to the actual ideal temperature and cooling period - it is all

"locked in" through personnel training and the state-of-art facility to create a

consistently superb result.

fusion rolls “Today’s students grew up eating food like sushi

that was once considered exotic. Now they are

their comfort foods.”(Kenneth Toong, director of dining and retail

foodservice at the University of Massachusetts, told Restaurants &

Institutions)
