Together, to bring the authentic taste.
We base our work on the concept of sharing the Italian food culture with everyone involved: the producers we collaborate with, the restaurants we supply, and the people who eat there. Our goal is to enrich the lives of all the people with whom we share our project.
Together, to bring the authentic taste.

Similarly, making our customers happy with superlative products is our main goal. We are always looking for new items to propose to our customers; if you wish to launch your products on the Japanese market, do not hesitate to contact us. Together we can make your products known in Japan, and spread the extraordinary Italian food culture.

Our Work
We offer a wide variety of products from all over Italy, including pasta, tomatoes and olive oil, as well as all the ingredients used in Italian cuisine, wines from all regions and craft beers that embody the spirit of the makers. We would be happy to collaborate with producers who sympathise with our philosophy, in order to valorise their products together.
Our Commitment
- 01.
- We deliver the message, values and traditions that manufacturers want to convey with their products.
- 02.
- We distribute the products at prices that are reasonable not only for our customers, but also for the producers.
- 03.
- We are committed to enriching all the people who collaborate with us.
Our mission is to convey the manufacturers' message and values correctly in Japan.
In order to communicate to Japanese restaurants as accurately as possible the excellence of the products and the gastronomic culture from which they originate, we visit our partners in Italy and learn alongside the producers. We see it as our mission to transmit to Japan the values and the philosophy that we learn directly in the places of production.
