Supermarket

We opened the first in-station supermarket at JR Ebisu Station in 1997. Since then, Seijo Ishii has opened stores in a variety of formats, such as in department stores, office buildings, malls and rest areas on expressways. We believe it is important not to be constrained by a perspective, but to be flexible opening and developing stores on different sized plots, shapes and surrounding environments. In addition to stores that offer a full lineup of selected and original products, we also have smaller stores specialized in grocery items. All in all, our stores range in size variously from about 66 square meters to 660 square meters. When we open new stores, we carefully select a location for efficient daily deliveries. Ingenious logistics enable us to deliver quality foods to new areas including Kofu, Atami, Takasaki and Sendai.

Challenge to “Grocerants”

In September 2019 at Trie KEIO CHOFU shopping mall, Seijo Ishii opened up a grocerant store which combined supermarket and restaurant. The store lined with about 11,500 items from around the world carefully selected by buyers. At SEIJO ISHII STYLE, which serves as dining area, offers the menu of seasonal foods and 90 % of the ingredients come from the products sold in the store.
Offering a new way of enjoying meal unique to Seijo Ishii is realized by our new challenge of combining supermarket and restaurant.

Restaurant

Seijo Ishii is also developing wine bar business. “Le bar la Vin 52 AZABU TOKYO” provides over 70 types of wines from all over the world selected by our professional buyers. Customers can get many of the wines and foods on the menu at Seijo Ishii supermarkets when they like. Instead of simply introducing efficient management method, we offer our best services based on our company’s concept to deliver safe and reliable products at affordable prices. We are pleased to attract not only our regular customers but also new customers by having them experience our products in the restaurant.

Seijo Ishii is committed to ensuring that our selected products reach more customers. All products are selected according to the same strict standards we use for our own stores, and all products have the same high quality and have been made using the same processes. Our wholesale partners expect Seijo Ishii’s high quality and reliable products can give their stores added values.

Logistics

Wine can be adversely affected by heat, light and vibration, and require delicate handling during transportation. Ships passing near equator face outside temperatures of more than 40℃, with temperatures onboard reaching 60℃ or more. From the very beginning, Seijo Ishii has been importing wines using reefer(temperature-controlled) containers, so that the wines do not come into contact with external light and temperature variations during shipping. Seijo Ishii has created a fully controlled logistic system environment that enables us to transport wines straight from the vineyard to Seijo Ishii stores shelves keeping the fresh taste. These efforts are highly appreciated by our customers including hotels and restaurants, as well as wineries we work with.

Central Kitchen

Seijo Ishii built a Central Kitchen to fulfill our wish of providing customers with truly delicious and safe products. The Kitchen is certified by the Tokyo Metropolitan Food Hygiene Self-Managing Certification system with stringent temperature control. Most of the processes are executed by hand skilled cooks. From the preprocessing of vegetables and meats to cooking, arranging and packaging, each step is carried out with great care. These products are delivered fresh to our stores every day, so that our customers can enjoy the homemade taste of carefully selected and prepared foods.

Import (TOKYO EUROPE TRADING)

Many of the Seijo Ishii’s products from overseas are imported directly by Tokyo Europe Trading Co., Ltd, an affiliated company, not sourcing from other trading companies. It enables us to cut intermediate cost and to realize competitive prices. Specialists of international trading in Tokyo Europe Trading work hard to introduce latest trends from abroad and deliver new products very quickly to Seijo Ishii. Tokyo Europe Trading works with suppliers worldwide not only European countries but also Asia, North and South America, Oceania and so on.
We deal with wide range of products such as wine, cheese, confectioneries, groceries and fresh fruits. Recently we started focusing on importing raw materials such as shrimps, frozen vegetables and baked bread.
Each section of Seijo Ishii uses or sells those raw materials. We are making the most of the advantages of direct importing to eventually deliver attractive products to consumers.
