What we do

Check this video about 日本食研 first! https://youtu.be/unOabl3DJjQ Similar to our parent company Nihon Shokken (日本食研) in Japan, Nippon Shokken U.S.A. manufactures and sells liquid sauces and powder seasonings. Back to 1988, we began American operations with opening its Los Angeles Sales Office in Torrance, California. We initially imported and distributed sauces and seasonings made in Japan throughout the U.S. As we continue to expand, our West Sacramento Head Office and Plant was built and started its operation in 2013. Future plans are to expand and add new manufacturing plant to increase production volume with the 40,000 square meters (approximately 10 acres) of unused land next to our Plant. This plan is now in progress, and we are anticipating it in near future! By utilizing the current production structure and our parent company’s expertise, we continue to develop products that satisfy our customers' needs. The expertise of 500 R&D (Research and Development) employees at our parent company cannot be replicated and is our upmost strength within the industry. With using the same machinery and equipment that have produced over 10,000 kinds of high quality products in Japan, the incredible sauces developed by our R&D and manufactured by our Production team is sold throughout United States and Canada from our 10 branches and sales offices and our 46 sales employees.
