Companies Interested in Highly-Skilled Foreign ProfessionalsNAKANO BC

Located in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, which is famous for its ume (Japanese plums), we are engaged in five different businesses.
In our Health Care Division, the company develops and manufactures health foods and supplements that take advantage of the components of ume. Our Ume Raw Materials Division produces ume fruit juice and sells it to soft drink and food manufacturers. In our Alcoholic Beverages Division, the company also manufactures and sells sake, liqueur, shochu, and mirin (sweet sake), under a sake brewing license. Among these, ume liqueur, made from nanko-ume, a specialty of Wakayama Prefecture, is popular overseas, and it is exported mainly to China, Korea, and other Asian countries. Gin made with koyamaki (Japanese umbrella pine) is exported to Europe, where it has been well received, winning a gold medal in the spirits competition at Concours International de Lyon. In addition, our Sightseeing Division accepts sake brewery tours where visitors can enjoy a vast Japanese garden (approx. 10,000 m2) and experience pickling ume liqueur and ume syrup, which are very much appreciated by tourists from overseas. In addition to alcoholic beverages, our Research & Development Division is developing functional foods (health foods) utilizing agricultural products from Wakayama Prefecture, and we intend to continue distributing our various products throughout the world.
