Raw Ingredient Sourcing
Ingredient
As you may know, Chirimen-Jako is a simple, nutrient-rich food that is typically eaten as is. Precisely because of its simplicity, we are deeply committed to sourcing only safe and delicious domestically produced ingredients. Despite the continuing decline in the annual catch of domestically sourced chirimen in Japan, we are proud to consistently provide high-quality domestic products. This is made possible by the expertise we have cultivated since the founding of the Osaka Central Wholesale Market, paired with our unique nationwide sourcing network. Our strength in sourcing top-quality Chirimen-Jako at one of the largest scales in the Kansai region comes from the trusted relationships we've built through honest, long-term partnerships with local fishermen and market distributors. This foundation of mutual cooperation allows us to maintain a steady supply of only the finest products.
The Heart of Sakamoto’s Craftsmanship
Origin
At Sakamoto’s production facilities, strict quality control standards are in place.But no matter how well-designed the rules may be, they are meaningless unless they are faithfully carried out. What truly matters is that each and every team member understands the importance of these standards and approaches their work with sincerity and responsibility.
That’s why at Sakamoto, we’ve made it our guiding principle to “only produce products we would proudly serve to our own families.” Every employee works with this mindset at the core of their daily duties.
Our passion for food safety and peace of mind is second to none.
