Companies Interested in Highly-Skilled Foreign ProfessionalsChato Co., Ltd.

Chato is focused in establishing a vertically integrated tea supply chain, from farm to final product managed under the global food safety management system. During the changing trend of times, we have treasured the philosophy "Fueki-ryukou", which means to keep the immutable, unchanging essence and at the same time, be fluid to change with the changing times.

In 2018, we formed an alliance with organic producers in Shizuoka and established Shizuoka Organic Matcha Co., Ltd. (SOMA). The alliance help support farmers by ensuring purchase of everything they produce at the price agreed within the alliance. SOMA members have meetings to share information such as market demand, quality, and organic farming skills. SOMA operates an Organic Matcha facility, which is one of the largest in Japan. Under strict quality control measures, SOMA processes the teas farmers make into matcha, to be sold worldwide.

Chato is compliant with the global food safety management system standard FSSC 22000, and also have JAS certification and USDA/NOP certification for organic products, HALAL and Kosher certification for religious regulations, and Rainforest Alliance certification for a sustainable society.

We are looking forward to working with people who is keen to reading the changes of the times, listens carefully to customers' needs, and who does not sell the product, but delivers value to customers.
