| Nichimo brings a wide range of marine products to Japan from Russia, Alaska, Canada, South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania, boasting high sales in the domestic market, particularly of surimi, pollock roe products and crab. |
| Having been purveying surimi, the major ingredient used in kamaboko (fish cakes) and chikuwa, for over 30 years, Nichimo supplies kneaded food manufacturers throughout Japan with surimi made from Alaskan pollock, southern blue whiting and other fish species. Nichimo delivers surimi of high quality to Japan, produced under careful production and quality control procedures under the guidance of its technical advisors dispatched overseas. |

| Pollock roe products are purchased mainly from Russia and the United States and are sold to mentaiko (spicy pollock roe) and pollock roe processors in the domestic market. Roe products require quick on-board processing, from extracting the roe and sorting by size and maturity to freezing. Therefore, Nichimo's highly experienced technical advisors visit processing sites to provide technical guidance and know-how. |
