Creation, Challenge and Realization

　Higashimaru International Corporation (HIC) was founded in 1991 in Tokyo, Japan, as an importer and distributor of frozen seafood materials.

　 In the wake of domestic and international changes in the food industry, HIC began to manufacture, import, and sell a wide range of value-added items, including frozen seafood, vegetables, and meat products, as well as freeze-dried products, in order to meet clients’ demands.

HIC USA promises to respect market demands and to work with our clients to develop quality products by utilizing HIC’s global network. There are currently three food factories in operation (Frozen, Freeze-dried, and Retort processing) under HIC’s network. We will accommodate client’s needs with the latest food processing technology and an organized system of safety assurance for all aspects of production and distribution.

In 2013, HIC USA opened Tsurumaru Udon Honpo, a franchise Japanese Udon noodle restaurant. There are now two Tsurumaru Udon restaurants serving traditional Japanese quick serve food in the LA area.

HIC USA will continue to provide the best quality and value for our clients. We will work closely with other HIC group companies and global business partners to provide the best solutions for your needs.
