Hello, my name is Yasuhiro Shiba. We are SHIBATA-YA, a liquor wholesaler. We deliver sake, wine, beer and other drinks from all over the world to our customers,who are restaurants, in the Tokyo metropolitan area. SHIBATA-YA was established by my grandfather in 1935 in Tokyo, so this year is our 80th anniversary.

This is thanks to our employees and customers, our business partners. Our philosophy is “ Shibataya cherishs our social ties, and, through our contribution to the development of the food and drinks industry, we try to help our employees and customers grow and be happy.

” Our vision is to “connect people through sake and make the whole world smile.” Now we have 150 staffs, and our customers number 2100 restaurants . Annual sales total 6 billon yen. We continue to grow by more than 10% each year. When we think about Japan’s restaurants industry, by expanding overseas, we want to act as a bridge between Japan and the world.

We are operating in Bangkok, Hongkong, and Milan, where we sell our Sake and explain sake culture. We have directly imported special liquor that has not been imported to Japan before.
