Ryoshoku Limited
 PROFILE
Ryoshoku has come a long way from canned fish. The company may have started with canned marine foods, but it is now a national leader in wholesale food distribution in Japan. Ryoshoku has built a distribution system with 1,000 suppliers, 3,600 customers, and a 10% market share. Beverages, including alcohol, and seasonings each make up about 25% of sales while noodles account for about 20%. Trading company Mitsubishi Corporation owns roughly half of Ryoshoku. In 1999 Ryoshoku and Mitsubishi bought a stake in food wholesaler Yukiwa, extending its network in western Japan.
