Seafood products are integral to Japanese culinary culture. As a part of our strategy to promote full product lineups in all food categories, we are actively working on seafood products, which fall under the fresh food product category. To add to the lineup of seafood products already handled by Kokubu Group companies throughout the country, we have partnered with Daito Gyorui Co., Ltd., Japan's largest wholesaler of marine products. Internally, we transferred oversight of fishery product merchandising to a single division and established a new Fishery Product Department at Senmi Co., Ltd., a Kokubu Group company in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Our customers in the fishery business include everyone from supermarkets and other retailers to food service industry players such as caterers. They handle all kinds of seafood products, ranging from fresh fish to processed marine products. Utilizing our own sales proposal capabilities and low-temperature distribution network, we draw upon our expertise in the seafood product industry to make efficient sales proposals tailored to individual customers.
