Our judgement is to provide an offer that meets the heart of customer satisfaction Though we are small, but we are here to be a wedge between distribution, and tradition.

As a purchasing agent

From the end of November to the end of April, It’s the harvest season of nori seaweed.
We stock a year’s worth of nori in a winter. Nori is dealt by “bidding” called Nyusatsu.
We purchase it making full use of judging experience on the basis of customer demand and store in temperature controlled storages Some years, we gather nori from over 10 production areas including Chiba which is our local place for pursuing better taste.

In process

Basically, we receive nori materials unroasted. Afterwards,
we begin drying process called “Hiire” and roasting process called “Yaki”.
In some cases, we outsource these processes to reduce costs. Nevertheless, it still requires careful management for every single sheet of nori.
Once roasted up, we move to cutting, and packaging.
Our items are “made to order” to provide fresh nori ( So we do not have finished products in stock). Besides, we have started Processing on basis of HACCP management from 2018.
Though nori is categorized as dried food, we push ourselves forward to follow global food safety standard.

Sales management

Many of nori we processed are transferred to Kashiwa city public wholesale market where our sales outlet is located.
From early morning, we sell nori to local restaurants, supermarkets. Kashiwa market is also open to local citizens.
After professional buyers leave, The inside is still full of excitement with a crowd.
For distant people, we have started online shopping and ship all over Japan, and overseas.
