Company Strengths & Characteristics

Our ability to handle everything from ingredient procurement to production, distribution, and sales as a comprehensive production system is one of our defining features and strengths.
●For procurement, we maintain direct contact with fishing sites worldwide, allowing us to gather information and secure a stable supply of high-quality ingredients. By visiting sites directly and providing fishing and production management consultations, we are also able to achieve greater stability in both quality and price.
●We are capable of producing small-lots of a wide variety of products. At our FDA HACCP/EU HACCP certified facility, we are able to manufacture and store products tailored to the needs of our customers.
●In sales we identify and understand the strengths and weaknesses of our clients, enabling us to make strategic recommendations for retail spaces to help solve challenges they face. At the same time, we can also produce and sell products that match their needs.

Future Prospects & Areas of Interest

● Future Outlook
Considering recent global developments, we recognize the need to pivot significantly from the traditional model of overseas production for domestic consumption to a model focused on domestic production for export.
Since Japanese cuisine’s recognition as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 2013, global popularity has accelerated. We believe ensuring affordable, high-value-added, and safe production practices will significantly enhance the global presence of MADE IN JAPAN products. We also believe that an integral part of the service we offer includes not only exports of products but cultural aspects as well.
