A Unique Value Chain That Creates Meaningful Products
Since 1994, when we began handling beverages manufactured in Japan, we have built a comprehensive value chain as a fabless manufacturer—from product planning and development to manufacturing and sales. While operating as a trading company, we have also cultivated manufacturing capabilities that rival those of traditional producers.
Leveraging our dual strengths as both a trading company and a manufacturer, we procure materials and ingredients from Japan and overseas, optimize cost structures, and deliver distinctive product designs that provide genuine value to consumers.
To ensure the safety and reliability of our products, we operate a dedicated Quality Control Department within our organization and continuously strengthen our production management systems to meet rigorous quality standards.
Beverage
With the concept of “A Little Happiness for You”, our original brand Kobe Kyoryuchi series takes center stage. Together with partner factories across Japan, we manufacture and distribute refreshing beverages nationwide.
Liquor
Building on our expertise in beverages, we have expanded the Kobe Kyoryuchi brand to include a canned CHU-HI series. To meet the diverse needs of our customers, our lineup now features premium canned CHU-HI, imported wines, and the renowned Koshu Nirasaki whisky, offering a wide range of choices for every taste.
Foods
By leveraging our trading company functions, we combine materials, ingredients, and brands sourced from both Japan and overseas to develop a diverse range of original food products. Our lineup includes items such as canned seafood and other uniquely crafted offerings designed to deliver quality and value to our customers.
