At “Maru,” there is a trust that has been built over the years through direct sales, selling dried fish in a way that brings the most joy to the producers.
It’s because “Maru” genuinely faces the producers’ unwavering commitment and passion that we can deliver this unwavering quality.
We bring the finest dried fish, packed with skill and craftsmanship, directly to your table, ensuring it reaches you in the best possible condition through direct sales.
For customers who are concerned about taking frozen items home due to distance, we have a reliable shipping system in place.
Once an order is shipped from the physical store, there’s no need to re-enter customer information for future purchases.
This convenience for repeat purchases has been well-received.
(*Please note that a separate registration is required for online shopping.)
“If you’ve come to Saiki” or “When you think of Oita Prefecture,” you’ll find Saiki’s famous “Gomadashi” and dried shiitake mushrooms from Oita.
