To meet the diverse needs of consumers, our company delivers food products across Japan at three temperatures?dry, chilled, and frozen?with optimal distribution. We take pride in our industry-leading business scale in the chilled and frozen sectors. In the dry sector, we specialize in various categories including dried goods, dried noodles, beverages, instant noodles, snacks, seasonings, and canned foods.

Food Products for Commercial Use
Proposals for value-added products adapted to different retail formats and market environments
By integrating the functions of delicatessen, restaurant, and ingredients, we respond to market needs through coordinated efforts in information capabilities, logistics system functionality, and procurement strength. In the delicatessen sector, we offer planned proposals tailored to market environments, events, and promotions, develop original products such as seafood and livestock, and thoroughly support sales floor creation based on procurement capabilities both domestically and internationally. In the restaurant sector, we provide optimal solutions to customers in various formats including restaurant chains and catering services. Furthermore, we propose food ingredients that address the challenges of food manufacturers.
Fresh Food Products
Full support from ingredients to processing and delivery through our global procurement network
Together with our group companies and partner factories both domestically and internationally, we handle everything from fresh produce ingredients to processed products, contributing to the revitalization of our customers’ sales floors. In the agricultural sector, we deal with imported fruits, domestically grown vegetables, and flowers, offering fresh products year-round. We are also enhancing initiatives for stable supply, including vegetable production in plant factories. For seafood, we propose products from various regions domestically and internationally, while for livestock products, we offer carefully crafted processed items. In addition to fresh products, we also provide comprehensive wholesale products through cross-merchandising with other categories, leveraging our overall distribution capabilities.
Non-Food Items
Proposals for non-food products and services that contribute to increased store sales and profits
We handle four areas of products for retailers: “everyday sundries” sold in stores; “store and back-office supplies” such as checkout bags, cutlery, and sanitation supplies; “durable consumer goods” including uniforms for employees and store banners; and “product packaging and transportation materials” such as containers, laminate materials, and logistics supplies. We provide solution proposals that combine procurement, planning, development, domestic logistics, and information provision functions, contributing to the resolution of our customers’ store operation and management challenges.
