Our company began by brewing soy sauce, and today we manufacture and sell alcoholic beverages, processed ume (Japanese plum) products, and other products.
We are seeking sales representatives to further expand our overseas export business and cross-border e-commerce business in the future. We plan to expand our sales channels to China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Singapore, India, Oceania, the EU, and South Korea, where we are currently doing well in the export of ume liqueur. We prefer candidates with English at business level or higher and Japanese N2-level language proficiency or higher, as there will be some interaction with overseas companies and sales activities in local markets. Previous sales experience is more than welcome.
In addition, our company accepts factory tours from tourists and would like to have attendants for overseas tourists. Currently, a Chinese national is working as an overseas sales representative and is excelling in a management position. As for benefits, we support employees in obtaining qualifications, and we subsidize examination fees for qualifications required for work and self-development. In addition, those who wish to live in an apartment owned by a group company are given priority in moving in, and half of the rent is subsidized.

Business Content

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.
