Our Story

Our story begins in 1912 when the Wismettac group (formerly Nishimoto Trading Co., Ltd.) was established in Kobe as a supplier of Japanese foods to the US.

Shirakiku®, our private brand registered in 1921, has become one of the most recognized Japanese food brands across the United States. We supply over 6,000 Japanese and Asian food products to restaurants, supermarkets, and other customers throughout North America and internationally.

All Shirakiku products are developed to meet local laws, regulations, and market demands. In North America, our parent company, Wismettac Asian Foods, has built an extensive logistics infrastructure and a network of warehouses to ensure that products reach customers in optimal condition.

Explore the authentic taste of Japan with Shirakiku's extensive selection – from premium rice, dried grains, and nori to flavorful soy sauce, miso, and refreshing drinks!
