A New Chapter for a Household Favorite
Modern Design, Same Heartfelt Flavor
AJI-NO-MOTO® introduced its new global logo and updated packaging in the Philippines during a launch at its Makati headquarters. The redesign keeps the iconic red bowl but now features a cleaner, more modern look to appeal to the new generation.
Designed for Today’s Filipino Families
Bringing Generations Together
Even with a modern look, AJI-NO-MOTO® stays true to Filipino homes by keeping beloved elements like the “Tak-Tak-Tak®” sound and the cute AjiPanda® mascot. These familiar features help bridge the past and present for families across generations.
Celebrating the Filipino Table
A Brand That’s Part of Family Life

More Than Just a Seasoning
A Symbol of Joy and Togetherness
