Surrounded by the bountiful sea, Japan is blessed with many natural types of seafood throughout the four seasons. Marutomo was born of this abundance, and for many years now has been providing people with delicious foods. Since the company's foundation in 1918, our high-quality Katsuo (traditional dried bonito) products, one of the essential elements of Japanese cuisine as soup base, have found their way onto almost every Japanese Table. In recent years, we are developing a wide range of new food products, and thus contributing to a more sophisticated culinary culture in Japan. Marutomo produces a wide variety of processed seafood products to meet the needs and preferences of today's consumers. These include not only bonito products, but also dried sardines, soup stock for noodles, dried soup base and chilled food products. Marutomo products incorporate the latest technology in order to assure the highest possible quality.
