HOKUTO

Hokuto was founded in November 1982, and has walked as a food maker headquartered in Nishi-ku, Sapporo. As another base, the company has a sales office in Fukui City — preparing a system to deliver products to customers nationwide.

The motto since founding is "honesty, technical skill, and creative drive." Food is strongest when it's sincere — that obvious thing — putting it into words and holding it up is Hokuto-like. A company that earned trust through steady accumulation rather than flashy production.

At the axis of product making is drawing out ingredient flavor and thorough hygiene management. The attitude of leveraging fresh ingredients and manufacturing under thorough hygiene management is an essential premise for "foods that accompany every day" — like rice companions and stocked side dishes.

Known as Hokuto's standard are kombu rolls. Touted as handmade by hand-rolling each one — finishing with effort. The good firmness born from handwork is a presence that arranges the dining table atmosphere — whether warmed or sliced and plated.

Handled products are: kani-miso, tai-miso, various kombu rolls, kani-miso cans and jars, seaweeds like iwa-nori, various cans, tsubu-uni, kakuni. Furthermore, categories like curry and "Furusato miso" exist — while centered on seafood, lines fitting "one more dish" for the home expand.

For cans, holding up product making that seals in ingredient flavor, the company also develops unique items that become table conversation — like Ezo deer curry and "Hokkaido mascarpone & kani-miso." Because there's a balance of standards and playfulness, you want to stock up.

Also considering proposals as gifts, having various gift assortments is another Hokuto characteristic. The "usual taste" for daily use becomes a careful souvenir as-is. That distance most honestly conveys the goodness of seafood processed products.

Founded November 1982. Cherishing "honesty, technical skill, and creative drive"

Hokuto was founded in November 1982, and since then has held up the attitude of pledging to deliver better products to customers nationwide with "honesty, technical skill, and creative drive." A company that has accumulated being properly delicious each time and safe to eat — rather than flashiness for lasting long.

Kombu rolls are "handmade," rolled one by one by hand

Kombu rolls are one of Hokuto's standards. Touted as handmade by hand-rolling each one, finished with a method that doesn't spare effort. Rather than the table's main, an "excellent supporting role" that's nice to have — easy to choose for gifts too.

Wide range from kani-miso and tai-miso to jars/cans, seaweeds, tsubu-uni, and kakuni

Handled products are diverse — kani-miso, tai-miso, various kombu rolls, iwa-nori and various seaweeds, jars and cans, tsubu-uni, kakuni. In addition to home use, also responding to commercial use — the strength is being easy to choose matched to use.

Made by drawing out fresh ingredient flavor with thorough hygiene management

Hokuto cherishes fully drawing out the flavor of fresh ingredients, and manufacturing under thorough hygiene management. Precisely because these are "things that enter the mouth daily" as rice companions and drinking accompaniments, the company continues product making premised on peace of mind.
