CEO’s Message

Leading the Seafood Industry into the Next Era.
Enriching the World with Fish and Seafood.

The Fish Factory Japan Co., Ltd. (TFFJ) was established through the merger of Okura Co., Ltd. and Kozai Bussan Co., Ltd. — two companies that have long earned trust by working hands-on in the field of fisheries.

By combining our strengths — a keen eye for quality fish, advanced processing skills grounded in the field, and robust distribution networks both in Japan and overseas — we aim to make the fisheries industry more exciting and more respected for future generations.

The fisheries business is not merely about selling fish. It is about handling life, supporting food culture, driving local economies, and connecting the world.
That is why we are committed to breaking away from outdated practices — transforming how we source, process, and communicate — to share Japan’s fish more authentically and attractively with the world.

By combining the wisdom of those on the front lines and the power of our colleagues, we can create new value and unlock the endless potential of fish.
We believe in the power of fish, embrace change with passion, and will continue building a business we can proudly pass on to the next generation.

As a company that stands “straight and true to fish,” TFFJ will continue to enrich the world through the power of the sea.
