With a strong sense of responsibility, we maximize the strengths of individual ingenuity and teamwork among all employees.
We create an attractive corporate culture driven by compelling individuals,
and provide our valued customers with captivating products and services, generation after generation.

Our company was founded in 1924 by our founder, Mr Tosuke Nishide, in Tenma, Osaka.
For many decades, we operated as a dried nori wholesaler, supporting the food industry through reliable distribution.

Around 1996, recognizing the changing needs of the market, we made a decisive transformation into a processing manufacturer—one that produces and delivers nori products with greater value and responsibility. Since then, our mission has been clear: to respond swiftly and sincerely to the needs of our customers.

Today, we secure a stable, year-round supply of nori by carefully procuring raw materials during the fishing season. We are committed to providing products that are safe, reliable, and consistent in quality—standards that modern customers rightly expect.

We firmly believe that a company is its people. For this reason, we place great importance on developing individuals across every department, sharing a common vision, and working together toward the same goals.

Nori is a profoundly complex and delicate food product. Our experienced sales representatives take the time to explain its characteristics with care and clarity.
Through this ongoing process of mutual understanding, we have built long-term, trusted relationships with customers across Japan.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to delivering a stable supply of safe, high-quality nori from Osaka to markets beyond Japan.
Above all, we will continue striving to be a reliable partner that creates genuine value for our customers.
