trade
Trade Division
Our trade division has built a strong network across Asia, particularly in the Philippines and Vietnam, and currently focuses on the import and sale of natural gemstones. By fostering trusting relationships with our local partner companies and ensuring a stable supply of high-quality stones, we have earned the confidence of many customers.
Looking ahead, we aim to leverage the network and expertise we have cultivated to export exceptional Japanese products overseas and introduce attractive international goods to the Japanese market. Through this, we hope to contribute to the growth of culture and industry on both sides.
We believe that trade is more than just the exchange of goods—it is about building meaningful human connections. Through our trading activities, we are committed to helping realize a richer and more sustainable society.
retail
Retail and Distribution Division
Our Retail and Distribution Division has launched a new initiative focused on domestically produced health foods. Although many of these products are not yet widely known, they are believed to support health, beauty, and overall quality of life. We are actively working to promote their use and benefits.
Partnering with producers and research institutions across Japan, we carefully select and deliver high-quality products. Japanese health foods, which make use of traditional food culture and natural ingredients, are increasingly gaining attention as an easy and effective way to maintain well-being in today’s fast-paced society.
In addition to offering these products, we also provide scientifically backed information and guidance on proper usage, helping consumers lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Moving forward, we will continue to share the appeal of exceptional Japanese health foods and contribute to the health and happiness of people everywhere.

Restaurant Start-up Consulting Division
Our Consulting Division offers comprehensive support for launching food and beverage businesses, including assistance with bringing popular international fast-food chains into the Japanese market. From market research and site selection to menu development and operational know-how, we provide end-to-end guidance to help ensure success.
We also actively support the launch of new restaurant concepts that are still unfamiliar in Japan, contributing to the diversification and growth of the food culture.
