Kenmin Foods Co. Ltd. began making Bii fun rice noodles in Japan in 1950. Initially there were problems with the noodles, as it was difficult to boil and add flavor to the noodles and it took a lot of time for them to cook. However we solved all of these problems, and the result was “Kenmin Yaki Be-fun” which were released to the market in 1960. With the released of revolutionary new products which do not require seasoning or boiling and which can be easily cooked in a single frypan, Yaki Be-fun have become an extremely popular choice as noodles and are greatly enjoyed by many Japanese people.（“Yaki” means “stir fried” in japanese）.
