Leading Domestic Market Share in Imported Shellfish — Seafood Processing Division

  • We import seafood raw materials and products from around the world, supplying a wide range of industries including domestic food manufacturers, restaurant chains, and mass retailers. We are particularly proud to hold the top domestic market share in imported shellfish, focusing on maintaining stable quality from the sourcing of raw materials to product processing, and catering to a diverse array of needs.

    Additionally, we have maintained a cooperative relationship for approximately 40 years with Denmark's largest salmon trout aquaculture company, primarily procuring raw materials for processing. In recent years, to support the globally expanding demand for salmon, we have begun initiatives to purchase and sell not only conventionally sea-farmed fish but also newly developed fully land-based farmed fish. We aim to provide a stable supply of sustainable products with minimal environmental impact to Japan and other Asian countries.

    Amid concerns over the depletion of fishery resources, we are leveraging our extensive global network to import superior food ingredients and are dedicated to establishing a stable supply chain.
