Would you like to open a "fish store" with us?
As a fish store loved by the local community
We bring smiles to customers with expertise honed over decades as a fish store.
Our company is a fresh fish store founded in 1951. We operate 16 stores across Japan and offer, on average, more than 250 kinds of fresh seafood per store, sourced from Toyosu Market, Japan’s largest seafood hub. Through face-to-face service, we propose products tailored to each customer.
We began as a tuna wholesaler at Tsukiji Market, the predecessor of Toyosu. While most retailers buy through intermediaries, we are among the few with trading rights to purchase directly from wholesalers. This allows our experienced buyers to secure seasonal seafood with assured freshness.
Based on our fresh seafood and skills cultivated over many years, would you like to open a "fish store" with us.
Face-to-face sales with a wide selection of products
Attractive store design
We create stores where customers of all ages can enjoy shopping.
To achieve this, we prioritize face-to-face sales that value conversation with customers.
We procure fresh, seasonal fish from Toyosu Market and deliver them directly to our stores.
According to customer needs, we prepare everything from whole fish or single cuts to sashimi blocks and assorted platters.
With the rich selection only a specialty store can offer, our fish experts suggest seasonal fish and dishes from everyday value to special occasions.
Drawing on this store-management know-how, we launch appealing stores.
Expert selection of tuna
Fresh fish procurement by trusted expert selection
Wild fish, which grow freely in natural environments, tend to have firmer flesh. On the other hand, farmed fish are known for their rich fat content, which can be controlled through their feed.
To judge the freshness of individual fish, key indicators include the eyes and gills. Fish with clear, dark eyes and bright red gills are fresh.
For tuna, the cross-section of the tail is used to assess the color of the flesh and the amount of fat.
Our buyers carefully select and procure seasonal fish with their trusted expert eye.
Careful and delicate knife skills
Advanced preparation and processing techniques
We offer services such as rinsing off blood and debris, removing gills and internal organs, and filleting into three pieces, all based on customer requests. Our staff are trained in these fish preparation techniques and provide processing services at the store. Even if handling fish at home is difficult, with help from our fish experts, customers can enjoy safe and delicious seafood dishes at home with peace of mind.
We also accept technical trainees from Vietnam and teach them fish preparation skills, so we are confident in our ability to contribute to overseas store operations.
