The company was founded in Aomori as a factory that processed marine products. When the company was established, we were energetically developing products even during a tough economic period.

The founder, Yoshiaki Okamura was an idea man and created many popular items. One of these items was the "diamond series". It was in the shape of herring roe and made of eggs of shishamo smelt. The flavor was soy sauce, mayonnaise, and mentaiko. With this product, we were able to expand sales channels nationwide. Then, our company got bigger and became a micro-enterprise.

We succeeded in making the world's first seasoned salmon roe using the eggs of frozen trout.
Only Musholm A/S provided us with these eggs, and they eventually joined our group.

We opened a retail store, PORT, to sell our high-quality processed marine products directly to consumers. Now PORT has formed a merger with OKAMURA FOODS and continues to sell our products.

In 2002, there was a fire that burned down our warehouse. We lost almost all of our capital. However, we restored it in only two years and reported significant profits as a team.

We founded Okamura Trading Co., Ltd. in Chuo-ku, Tokyo as the contact point to Vietnam.
This company processed salmon sushi toppings in Vietnam. It grew rapidly because of the boom of conveyor-belt sushi in Japan. Now it has formed a merger with OKAMURA FOODS and has become our core business for processing overseas.

Musholm A/S which provides us with frozen eggs and are aquaculture farmers in Denmark became a subsidiary. Thus, we were able to get aquaculture know‐how while also securing raw materials.

To market Japanese food in Vietnam, we founded Viet Fuji Inv. as a joint venture. We launched a chain of Japanese restaurants in Vietnam.

We started a wholesale business to process marine products in Singapore to take advantage of the market expansion of Japanese food in Asia.

After getting aquaculture know‐how from Musholm A/S, we made sure that Aomori was the best place for salmon farming. In 2017, Japan Salmon Farm Inc. was established in Fukaura-Cho, Nishitsugaru-Gun, Aomori, and started a large-scale aquaculture business focused on salmon.

To alleviate the overconcentration of processing bases in Vietnam, we built Okamura Trading Myanmar Co., Ltd. in the Thilawa Special Economic Zone of Myanmar.

As part of expanding wholesale business in Asia, Xenka Trading (M) Sdn. Bhd. that was a customer of Okamura Trading Singapore Pte., Ltd. became a subsidiary.

OKAMURA FOODS managed the merger of Okamura Trading and PORT to improve management efficiency.

We founded Okamura Trading Vietnam Co., Ltd. for the production management and quality control technologies.

We built Okamura Trading Taiwan Co., Ltd. in Taiwan to sell Japanese food products to take advantage of the market expansion of Japanese food in Asia.

Okamura Trading (Thailand) Co., Ltd. was established to sell Japanese foodstuffs in Thailand.

The company was listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange with the aim of raising funds and acquiring human resources for business expansion.
It was the first time in 16 years that a company headquartered in Aomori Prefecture was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, except for listings following the merger of financial institutions.
