Overseas branches

Myanmar Sunrise

It was in 1997 that Matsuoka started business with a partner company in Myanmar. Today, we run a shrimp processing factory in Ngapali, a beach resort in the north-west Myanmar with our partner. Frozen shrimp products are packed there under our brand and exported to Japan. We also purchase shrimp products from other factories near Yangon and export them to Japan and other countries.

Dalian Sunrise

In recent years, China has achieved significant economic growth so that the demands on a wide range of imported food products for their consumption have rapidly increased. We have successfully established a corporation to sell Japanese food products in China, including seafood from Hokkaido.
Main jobs at Dalian Sunrise are import/export of seafood and other food products, domestic sales in China, and quality control at processing factories. In Dalian, one of the most important hub of the distribution of fishery products in China, we aim to bridge not only China and Japan, but also all of the world to expand our trading business.

Our office in Santiago, Chile have been established to have safe and secure supply from South American countries such as Peru, Argentina, and mainly Chile. Farmed salmon and squid are core export items in Chile and they are also essential parts of seafood in Japan. We try our best to supply reliable products for our customers through negotiating with packers, inspecting products by shipment, and visiting factories. We also explore the possibilities of handling various new products like agricultural and livestock products.
