Company

Greetings

Since our founding in 1957, we have been exporting Japanese foods and miscellaneous items to various parts of the world, and continue to provide "Japanese tastes" to the tables around the world not only for Japanese expatriates & diasporas but also Asians, Westerners, etc. At the same time, we have endeavored to raise the understanding of "Japanese food" among the people of the world. In today's rapidly changing global economic environment, trends in the food environment are diversified, informatized, and internationalized. Without being bound by preconceived ideas, we will maintain a fresh sense of responding to the needs of the times, develop a wide range of detailed business activities, and strive to create a food culture from an international perspective.
