Nihonkai Co., Ltd., running sushi restaurants at 12 locations throughout Tokyo

Company Nihonkai Co., Ltd. was founded in the third year of the Heisei era. Our longstanding experience as a wholesale tuna distributor at the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo forms the foundation of the present-day Nihonkai. We strive daily, as a united team, to provide our customers with fresh and delicious products, finding joy in their satisfaction, which is our company’s motto.

We particularly emphasize our commitment to tuna and continue to focus exclusively on natural, high-quality tuna, even in the current trend of aquaculture. With our motto “True deliciousness lies in the ingredients,” we explore the seasons of various fishing ports nationwide to pursue the finest quality. The taste of fish is greatly influenced by the seasons and the location (latitude) where they are caught. This is both the challenge and the joy of running a sushi restaurant.

As the president of the company, I find utmost delight when our customers say, “It was delicious, we will come again,” as they leave. In order to receive such feedback, we are determined to continue improving and refining ourselves every day. Although we also operate an izakaya (Japanese-style pub), our core focus remains on sushi. Therefore, even for our izakaya dishes, we pride ourselves on using high-quality ingredients and serving them homemade, aiming to ensure customer satisfaction.

While “Nihonkai” has now been in business for over 20 years, we are fortunate to receive swift fish information, thanks to the extensive network we built during our time in Tsukiji and our connections with fishing ports across the country.

We aspire to persistently uphold our dedication to natural and fresh seafood in the future.

Ken Yonekawa Representative Director and President
