Established in Yokohama in 1883, we (K. Kobayashi Co., Ltd.) are now over 120 years old.

At the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, our head office moved to Kobe.

Since then, we have progressed along with the growth of cosmopolitan city “Kobe”.

With continuous efforts to meet the needs and confidence of our customers, and persistent challenges to make possibilities into reality, we have come a long way to enjoy a top importer in the spices business – No 1 import quantity.

Not only spices and herbs, we have been importing new items in the fields of edible oils nuts/dried fruits leading our market.

Our challenges will never cease.

To meet our customer’s confidence, we have been looking for quality and safety products based on our long-last experience and achievements.

We always strive to become a company who fascinates our customers with flexible, new, fresh ideas.
