We introduce our businesses nurtured over the years together with our suppliers and together with our customers.
Since Sueo Ishimitsu, the founder, brought back coffee beans and roasting machines that were still rare at that time into Japan, and worked for diffusion of coffee, we have been engaged in coffee and beverage business without forgetting the industry pioneer's pride. We make “one cup of happiness” of the consumers’ side through import, processing and sales of coffee and tea. Further, due to agricultural products’ characteristics, we are deeply involved with developing countries and by building long lasting partnership, we contribute to secure the employment and to improve technology at the producers’ side.
