In the food export and import and wholesale business, we engage in the manufacture, import and sale of original products developed with different customers in Japan and overseas. The items handled in this business include grilled chicken, mixed vegetables and seafood tempura, white fish fries, squid fries, kushikatsu skewered fried meat and vegetables, takoyaki octopus balls and other frozen items; canned agricultural and fishery items, such as jam, tomatoes and tuna, dried food, dried pasta and udon, somen, soba, hiyamugi and harusame noodles; luxury grocery items, such as coffee and tea bags, other beverages, confectioneries, seasonings such as tsuyu and mirin, and other grocery items. We sell products we developed in accordance with customers’ needs using our network.

We have a wide range of business partners including supermarkets, convenience stores, drugstores and restaurant chains. In the food wholesale business, we aim to satisfy customers by developing products that cannot be created by others from various perspectives, including as a manufacturer, a wholesaler and a trading company. Recently, we are conveying Japan’s food culture to the world by exporting and selling products we developed.

We import raw materials and manufactured items of marine products from around the world and sell them to a wide range of business categories, including food manufacturers, restaurant chains and volume retailers in Japan. We have one of the largest market shares in the handling of imported shellfish and sell them to meet wide-ranging needs, paying close attention to stable quality from the landing of raw materials to the processing of products. While the depletion of fishery resources has become an issue in recent years, we work to build a stable supply system by importing quality food items, making excellent use of a broad global network. We also aim to deliver delicious food items built up in Japan, a fishing nation, to the world.
