(President: Takumi Sakata, hereinafter referred to as Sakata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) has developed a product in collaboration with Nagaoka University of Technology that is clean and safe ice/single-crystal ice that is free of impurities as much as possible. ) will be on sale online from July 1st under the name “Kodomo no Koori “Gokigen.” This product can not only be used to adjust the temperature of baby food and milk, but also can be stuffed directly into small children’s mouths as a snack.

We are currently recruiting a limited number of two sales partner companies for full-scale sales. ■The background of product development is the modern era, which is said to be “punishment for raising children” The total fertility rate in 2023 was 1.20, the lowest on record. In recent years, the term “child-rearing punishment” has been coined, and an increasing number of people feel that having children and raising them is itself a penalty in life. This is because living expenses and education expenses are increasing even though salaries have not increased, and it is still difficult to balance work and childcare, such as when prioritizing childcare makes it impossible to work, and when prioritizing work, it is not possible to raise children. There are some things that can be mentioned. In these modern times, there is a lot of talk about diversity, and the proportion of people who do not choose to get married or have children is also increasing. However, if measures to counter the declining birthrate and childcare support are not continued, it will have a serious impact on the economy and society. Sakata Seisakusho continues to provide childcare support as a small and medium-sized company. ■Sakata Seisakusho supports child rearing with “zero overtime” and “100% male childcare leave take rate” In today’s world where we are often referred to as “child-rearing punishment,” Sakata Seisakusho defines child-rearing as something that society does, and we believe that we are involved in child-rearing as a company that makes up society. As a result of thinking about how we can be involved in child-rearing as a company on a daily basis, we have achieved “zero overtime” and “100% rate of male childcare leave taken.” Since 2018, we have continued to achieve a 100% rate of male childcare leave taking. We also promoted zero overtime, which led to mutual understanding of work and improved teamwork. Nowadays, there is a need for work style reform, and we are proud to have proven that it is possible to achieve work-life balance not only at large companies but also at local small and medium-sized enterprises. ■Creating a culture where we can support each other in raising children with the gift of clean ice with impurities removed

Through joint research with Nagaoka University of Technology, we have developed highly transparent ice “monocrystalline ice” with as few impurities as possible, and have been selling it through our own mail-order site. By giving this “single crystal ice” as a gift to families raising children, we aim to foster a culture of mutual support for raising children. ■Can be used for various purposes with 3 sizes: small, large, and stick
