〇Mission: What we can do as HATAE
We differentiate the products that our customers want, provide rare products, and offer high-quality services.

As a wholesaler, we offer a wide variety of products and services that our competitors cannot, including after-sales service and online sales.
By developing reliable products, we aim to help consumers realize a richer dietary lifestyle. Since our establishment in 1947 as a wholesaler specializing in marine products in Hakata, we have been visiting each and every food producing area all over Japan, and offering a wide range of products from seafood to mountain food as well as overseas foodstuffs to meet the needs of manufacturers, with the motto of delivering high quality ingredients and safe and secure foodstuffs.
In recent years, the environment surrounding ""food"" has been changing dramatically. With the declining birthrate and aging population, consumer needs are becoming more diversified and individualized, and the food distribution industry is in the midst of an era of shakeout and restructuring.
By taking these difficulties in our stride, we will continue to contribute to the realization of a richer dietary lifestyle for consumers by proposing new forms of food through the development of reliable products with our business partners."
