尾鷲物産株式会社
OWASEBUSSAN Co.,Ltd.

We are a general marine corporation with fish farming, coastal longline fishing, fish farming and related processing, and dried fish processing for original, local product retail. Our head office is located in southern Mie. 

In 1972, we started our own business, providing processed dried fish and selling them in local supermarkets. Since then we have built our company DNA around a "market approach," which means that we provide customers with what they need and as much as they need.

 

Our focus has been to respond to various market needs with a consistent supply, quality, and price. Our company's highest sales point is our fresh fish manufacturing specialization, fish farming, and coastal longline fishing around which we have constructed a "supply chain" with a grounded structure focused around both schedule and quality.

 

Yellowtail farming taking place in Owase Bay produces more than 400,000 fish, yearly. In addition to this, we are working with university researchers to establish advanced farming technology.

 

We also manage yellowtail, red seabream, and amberjack farming, and produce over 1,500,000 fish, yearly. We are also in a cooperative manufacturing group with providers in Shikoku and Kyushu who work with us in fish farming to supply the freshest fish at the peak of the season. This is how we supply fresh fish to the market throughout the whole year. 

 

In ocean fishery, we treat the fresh fish with a special care that is not done by other companies, preserving the highest level of freshness.  This way, we can supply the highest quality of tuna, mainly albacore tuna.  This project is one of our efforts to increase the amount of the local fish market, and to solve local problems, such as few successors in the fishing industry. 

 

In a market where securing human resources can be difficult, we continue to respond to the market's needs by keeping in stock "what consumers need and as much as they need." For the purpose of always striving to maintain consistent supply, quality, and price, we have proactively obtained SQF certification ensuring the best facilities and processing quality.

 

Situated in Southern Mie Prefecture, Owase is closer to such big cities as Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya than many other producers. Because of this, we are able to use the location to advantage in our business logistics and are capable of providing the highest quality of freshness in our products. 

 

Thanks to this location, we can deal with other areas all throughout Japan.  We have been expanding the market not only in Asian countries but also Western countries in recent years.
