Nagano Prefecture, the heart of the Japanese Alps and the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics, abounds with nature’s blessings. Its cool highlands and clearly defined four seasons provide an ideal climate for agriculture. Pristine air and pure mountain water nurture high-quality foods, including rice, vegetables, fruits, and fermented products. These natural conditions give rise to a wide variety of unique and appealing regional specialties.
Nagano is also home to a rich tradition of craftsmanship. Products from traditional handicrafts to everyday goods are characterized by careful attention to detail, effective use of high-quality materials, and a fine balance of functionality and beauty.
We are a regional trading company based in Nagano Prefecture, established in 2022. Leveraging our strong network with local producers, we have been exporting a wide range of Nagano-origin products to approximately 10 countries worldwide.
With a deep understanding of international business practices and export procedures, we provide a one-stop export service—from communication support and documentation to logistics coordination. As a bridge between the Japanese and global markets, we ensure smooth, reliable, and efficient transactions.
Nagano Prefecture is home to around 80 sake breweries—the second most in Japan. Each brewery produces distinctive, high-quality sake, reflecting its unique craftsmanship and local character. Despite this abundance, many Nagano breweries remain largely undiscovered overseas.
We focus on introducing these hidden gems to global markets. We also offer Private Label services and custom bottle production to meet your brand needs.
Grapes, apples, peaches, pears, strawberries, apricots, watermelons—the list goes on. Nagano is one of Japan’s leading fruit-producing regions, offering a remarkable variety of fresh, high-quality produce.
Visitors from across Japan and around the world travel to Nagano to enjoy its fruit during peak seasons—especially for grapes and apples. We are committed to bringing these highly attractive fruits to international markets.
Rich in nature, Nagano is also home to highly regarded Wagyu beef. We handle Shinshu Premium Beef, a top-quality brand that meets strict standards for safety, quality, and taste.
This exceptional Wagyu is characterized by its high oleic acid content, resulting in tender texture and a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth experience prized by consumers worldwide.
Note that “Shinshu” is the ancient name for Nagano, and it has been recognized as a sign of premium quality for generations of Japanese consumers. For this reason, “Shinshu” appears in the brand names of countless products made in Nagano.
Nagano’s ideal climate for grape cultivation has fueled rapid growth in its wine industry in recent years. Special wine production zones are established across the prefecture, producing a wide range of wines—from European varietals to unique Japanese grape varieties.
These wines have gained strong international recognition. Although many wineries are small-scale, we facilitate mixed shipments, making it easy for overseas buyers to access and import these distinctive wines.
Nagano is widely recognized as one of Japan’s leading regions for longevity, with both men and women enjoying among the highest healthy life expectancies in the country. This is closely linked to its natural environment and long-established food culture.
The region produces a diverse range of naturally healthy foods, including fermented products such as miso, wine, and cheese, as well as plant-based protein foods and mushroom-based products. We actively promote these unique and nutritious offerings from Nagano to global markets.
In addition to our core product categories, we offer a diverse selection of items, including premium seasonings, traditional crafts, and more—each reflecting Nagano’s quality and craftsmanship.
