Work Together, Grow Together
Partners Creating the Future Together
Superior Quality,
Great Prices Every Day
We promise to provide high-quality products to our customers at fair prices every day.
Our mission is to constantly strive to serve our customers daily, accepting only “a slight profit that allows the store to continue operating” rather than seeking large profits.
Message from the President
However, it is facing challenges that change with the times. To connect this place to the future, we are working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds to create new value. We believe that by rooting ourselves in the local community and connecting with the world, starting with Vietnam, we can build a richer future.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming those who share our passion for this challenge and are willing to walk this path with us.

To ensure foreign talent can integrate into the community and succeed with peace of mind, we took the lead in establishing the support organization COCORO with local volunteers across various industries. We aim to resolve chronic labor shortages by broadly supplying human resources to the community across multiple sectors, including not only supermarkets (food manufacturing) but also civil engineering/construction, nursing care, and transportation. Through this organization, COCORO, we provide multifaceted support, including daily life assistance, Japanese language education, and cultural exchange, as we work together to build a rich and sustainable local community.
