At supermarkets, convenience stores and family restaurants,
What you say is delicious may be an ingredient selected by Nichirei Fresh.

Nichirei Fresh is a company that procures, processes, and sells selected marine and poultry products from Japan and overseas. We want to deliver safe, secure, and delicious food.

We also offer optimal processing to suit each sales scenario, and have achieved an integrated system of procurement, production, and quality assurance on a global scale.

Our commitment to "safe, secure, and delicious food" is bottomless, and we actively participate in the production site, the upstream of the supply chain, by sometimes selecting feed for cattle, pigs, and chickens for special breeding, and sometimes visiting overseas fishing grounds to check on landed marine products. We are also involved in the poultry farming business itself. Among our food ingredients, special ingredients that meet the six keywords of "freshness," "taste," "safety," "security," "health," and "sustainability" and are recognized for their strict Nichirei Fresh quality are called "Kodawari-Materials," and we offer them to our customers for their deliciousness plus extra value.

To preserve delicious food for future tables

Our mission is not just about sourcing food. We are also involved in projects that contribute to food sustainability. We work with local communities to protect the food of the future through projects such as the Inochi-no-Mori-Project, which protects the sea and forests of Southeast Asia, where shrimp farming is thriving, and the "Fishery Improvement Project," which protects the biodiversity of the Yellow Sea coast of China, where scallions grow.

The long-awaited lunch. The evening meal on the day you come home tired. The taste of that special meal you had at a restaurant on a special day.
We are particular about various things in order to deliver dishes that will make you feel at ease from the bottom of your heart.

Just heat it up and it is ready to eat. Nichirei Foods (then Nippon Reizo Inc.) was the first company in Japan to create such frozen foods, launching the cooked frozen food "Chawanmushi" in 1954, when electric refrigerators were not yet widespread. Since then, the company has evolved its cooking methods and menus to meet the changing lifestyles of consumers, creating products that solve various issues of each era.

Currently, we produce mainly frozen foods for household and commercial use, as well as retort-pouch foods, ice, and products exclusively for home delivery, all with our unique "monozukuri (manufacturing) beliefs" and with a focus on deliciousness. From the selection of ingredients to the production system, Nichirei Foods has established its own quality control rules and systems to ensure the safety and security of its products.

With the cook's thoughts and feelings

Nichirei Foods is constantly developing new products and renewing products by keeping abreast of changing food trends and tastes in order to create products that consumers really want.

Delicious! That's all we want to hear.

For example, our "chicken bouillon," which is the base of the flavor of our dishes, is made by slowly simmering carefully selected ingredients such as chicken bones and onions in a large skillet and carefully removing the scum by people. The taste of our products, made using the same method for more than 30 years, is not only used by hotels and restaurants as commercial frozen foods, but is also used in many Nichirei Foods' frozen foods for household-use, such as hamburg steak and shrimp pilaf.

Why do we take so much time and effort? Because we believe that the feelings of the cook are conveyed through the food. That is why we stick to the basics. And we face our products honestly and straightforwardly. That is Nichirei Foods.
