Keep Stepping Up to the Plate

Standing still is falling behind.

This is something I tell our employees often.
If we settle for the present and stop sincerely working to be useful to our customers, our company has no bright future.
This year too, taking these words as our motto, we will work hard together as a group.

Thanks to all of you, in April 2026 we were able to mark our 110th year since founding.

This milestone is entirely thanks to everyone who has always supported us, and I am sincerely grateful.
We humbly ask for your continued support of the Kanesa Group going forward.

At our company, we set a slogan each year as a milestone toward realizing our management philosophy.
This year’s slogan is, “UPDATE — Hotter than anywhere, expanding the possibilities.”
is what we have decided.

As a company that supports our region, it goes without saying that we will keep taking on challenges — keep stepping up to the plate.
To do that, the most important thing is first to know ourselves and to update who we were yesterday.
Or — the attitude of constant improvement — that is what feels essential to me.

What are we good at? What are we not good at?
What gives us a sense of meaning, and what role should we play in society?

By truly understanding ourselves, the direction forward will come into view.

Doing business here in Tohoku, what we want most is to make this region into an attractive area.
We want to help energize the hometowns we grew up in and love.

To do that, first, through our core business of sake wholesale, we will think and act sincerely about being of use to our customers.
And to bring more people to Tohoku, we are determined to do everything we can as a company.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of the Kanesa Group this year.
