Business
SoA runs three businesses: a trading business that exports fine Japanese agricultural, marine and livestock products and food; rice production and farm visits on 3.8 hectares we operate in Kawagoe, Saitama; and website production, app and system development, and AI adoption support. We also introduce the work we are advancing now and the areas we plan to grow into.
Today
Our three businesses
Trading
The taste of Japan the world hasn't met yet.
A trading business that exports fine Japanese agricultural, marine and livestock products and food. Starting from the rice we grow, we bring products from producing regions across Japan to importers, restaurants and retailers overseas. We are in talks with overseas buyers through GFP and JETRO programs and hands-on export support from Saitama Prefecture.
- Export wholesale of Japanese agricultural, marine and livestock products and food
- Supply to importers, restaurants and retailers overseas
- Talks with overseas buyers (with support from GFP, JETRO and Saitama Prefecture)
Agriculture
Growing rice in the fields of Kawagoe.
We grow rice on 3.8 hectares (about 9.4 acres) of farmland operated by SoA in Kawagoe, Saitama, and sell it to consumers through our rice brand Komeyoshi. We also supply rice to restaurants, retailers and food companies in Japan, and accept inquiries about farm visits from companies and municipalities.

A wider range of products for export

Farm experience programs
We are developing farm experience programs set in the rice fields of Kawagoe. Farm visits for companies and municipalities are available on request.
