Business Philosophy
Connecting the World Through the Joy of Food
As a trading company specializing in Dried Small Anchovy, Kimura researches seafood products from Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Thailand, and other countries, and by providing technical guidance to local producers, we aim to improve quality and ensure a stable supply to the market.
Specialty trading companies that handle overseas-sourced Dried Small Anchovy are rare in the industry. Our unique expertise, developed through years of experience, has opened up new possibilities for Dried Small Anchovy, a staple of the Japanese dining table.
At the same time, we believe that Japan’s meticulous sensibility toward food and the high level of Japanese technology in Dried Small Anchovy processing have much untapped potential on the global stage.
Not limited to the import of marine products, we aim to connect the world through food-based technologies and expertise, protecting the future of food on a global scale. By accumulating small innovations, we aspire to support a sustainable future for food around the world.
Message from the CEO
Supporting the Future of Food
from a Global Perspective
As a trading company specializing in Dried Small Anochvy that does business overseas, we often realize that Japan's passion for food is outstanding in the world. This unique Japanese sensibility and food technology has the potential to be put to better use around the world. Kimura Shoji Co., Ltd. is also taking on challenges that go beyond the boundaries of a traditional trading company, such as "food" for pets, which are members of the family, and a lodging business that conveys the wonders of the Seto Inland Sea to the rest of the world. Connecting Japan and the world through food and the sea. That is the kind of business we hope to develop.
