Takara Shuzo International Co., Ltd. has bases in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, from where we are rolling out two businesses: the Overseas Alcoholic Beverages Business, which exports alcoholic beverages and seasonings from Japan to the world, and manufactures and sells alcoholic beverages overseas, and the Overseas Japanese Food Wholesale Business, which supplies Japanese food ingredients to Japanese restaurants and retail stores abroad.

The Takara Shuzo International Group is characterized by our expansive distribution and information networks. These start from manufacturing a wide variety of products, including sake and other Japanese alcoholic beverages (washu), Japanese seasonings, and whisky, and go on to cover wholesaling, retail, and restaurants. Driven by the rising global interest in health and Japanese culture, we expect the demand for Japanese food will only expand further in future. This is why the Group will not only leverage the strengths and assets of each of our companies, but utilize them across the Group to maximize our Group strengths and create synergy between our two core businesses.

The Takara Shuzo International Group aims to both support the global growth of the Takara Group through our business activities in the fields of alcoholic beverages and Japanese foods and to help bring smiles to our customers around the world by enriching their lives, making our Vision, Smiles in Life, a reality.

I would be grateful for your continued support.
