The Beginning
Nakasho Shoten has been supported by many eel restaurants since its founding, and that is why we have been able to hear certain voices.
"Isn't there a better fire?" We want to answer the serious concerns that artisans have about charcoal.
With this goal in mind, we traveled to the coal-producing areas ourselves and began purchasing charcoal directly from sources that satisfied us, which was the origin of our energy business.
Proof of trust
By partnering with overseas factories for production, we have achieved high quality, low prices, and stable supply.
Expanding sales channels
So far, we have expanded our sales channels, focusing on the three Tokai prefectures.
Currently, the company has offices in the Tokyo and Tohoku regions.
By teaming up with reliable logistics partners, we have put in place a system to deliver our charcoal to customers across the country.
"Nakasho Shoten Charcoal"
We recognize charcoal not just as a fuel, but as an important element that supports our food culture.
As a wholesaler that has been in business since 1932, there are things that we want to protect and pass on.
