WHY WORK WITH US?
1. Job Security - A Growing Company with Global Backing
Our parent company, Nihon Shokken, is one of Japan’s largest liquid seasoning manufacturers. Since its founding in 1972, they’ve built a strong, proven business model that we’ve successfully brought to the U.S. At Nippon Shokken U.S.A., we’ve steadily expanded our customer base, team, and number of sales offices, establishing a solid foundation and a clear path for growth for the future.

2. Limitless Business Potential
We serve a wide range of industries, from supermarkets and restaurants to schools and food processors. As demand for Japanese and Asian cuisine continues to grow in the U.S., our sauces and seasoning blends play an important role in helping customers address challenges such as labor shortages and maintaining consistent flavor. With these opportunities expanding, there’s plenty of room to build your career with us.

3. Growth from Within - Opportunities for Current Employees
We believe in recognizing talent from within. When positions become available, we focus on promoting current employees rather than hiring externally. Strong performance is rewarded with real opportunities for advancement early on in your career.

4. A Supportive, Team-Oriented Culture
We take pride in our family-like and team-oriented work environment. Our team is approachable, supportive, and always willing to help each other out.
