Fresh and tasty dried fish from Japan to your table! | Yoshimura Shote

Message from the President

It has been almost 60 years since we began producing sun-dried fish.

We are pleased our products are loved by people in Japan and are now available overseas.

Sun-dried fish, called Himono, is prepared by cleaning, salting and sun-drying.

When grilled right before eating, sun-dried fish is healthy, juicy and especially tasty with rice.

We spare no expense to guarantee food safety, quality control and environmental sanitation in our production facilities.

Our goal is to produce high quality food enjoyable to see and eat.

With our excitement and enthusiasm, we continue to challenge ourselves to create smiles around the world.

Since we created the Muslim-friendly fish dumpling, certified as Halal food, I was delighted to offer our dumpling at the Singapore Trade Fair.

However, Muslim people feared to try them because gyoza is traditionally associated with pork.

I was devastated, but I knew if they tried just one bite, they would love our fish dumplings.

After I eased their fears with explanations of Halal certification, people sampled our products and loved them.

We sold all 600 packages! Following this experience, I decided to offer Muslim-friendly gyoza to people in Asia as well as Japan. The Yoshimura Shoten Company hopes to see many smiles from new customers!
