How It Works

From Market to Your Door

A six-step process refined over years of international export to ensure freshness, compliance, and on-time delivery.

01

Inquiry & Quotation

You contact us with your requirements — species, quantity, processing format, destination, and timeline. Our export team responds with availability and pricing within 1 business day. No volume minimums for first orders.

02

Market Procurement

On the day of shipment, our buyers are at Fukuoka Central Wholesale Market or Toyosu Market at dawn to select your order. For live seafood, we also source directly from aquaculture farms. We select only to your quality specification.

03

Processing & Packing

Back at our Fukuoka facility, the seafood is processed to your specification — cleaned, filleted, portioned, vacuum-packed, or kept live in water systems. Cold chain is maintained throughout. For live seafood, oxygen is added and water temperature is precisely controlled.

04

Documentation

We prepare all required export and import documentation: health certificates, phytosanitary certificates, CITES permits (where applicable), commercial invoices, packing lists, and any destination-specific paperwork. We are experienced with the specific requirements of the USA, EU, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, China, Australia and more.

05

Air Freight

Product is transported to Fukuoka Airport — just 10 minutes from our facility — and checked in as cargo. We work with airline cargo teams to confirm temperature-controlled hold space and, for live cargo, appropriate live animal handling. Flight tracking details are sent to you immediately.

06

Delivery & Follow-Up

Upon arrival at your destination, our documentation package ensures smooth customs clearance. We follow up on every shipment to confirm successful delivery and resolve any issues quickly. For repeat customers, we streamline recurring orders further.
