Kakujo Fishery Expands with New Tsurugashima Store

In a major development for seafood lovers, Kakujo Fishery Holdings is set to unleash their latest store, the Tsurugashima Store, on August 20, 2026. Located in Saitama Prefecture, this new outlet promises to elevate the shopping experience by featuring a comprehensive range of fresh seafood, fruits, and meats, all under one roof.

This innovative “fresh market type” store will encompass offerings from Kakujo Fishery, fruits from Verger Holdings, and meats from Okubo Meat Processing. This unique amalgamation aims to cater to everyday shopping needs, as well as gourmet desires for special occasions.

The Tsurugashima Store is thoughtfully positioned approximately 3.5 km west of Tsurugashima Station. It's strategically located within a busy area enriched with key transportation arteries, including the Kanto Expressway, the Ken-Oh Expressway, and the Tsurugashima Junction. The region benefits from excellent connectivity, further enhanced by the newly opened Tsurugashima Hidaka Bypass scheduled for completion in 2024.

Driving Growth and Freshness

Kakujo Fishery’s roots in Niigata, particularly the historical fishing town of Teradomari, have inspired the location choice for this new store. The Kanto Expressway serves as a vital transportation link between Niigata and the greater region. By choosing this location, the store ensures direct access to high-quality seafood which plays a significant role in its dining offerings.

As customers frequent this store, both daily shoppers and those traveling from afar will benefit from a hub of freshness and quality.

The Key Location Advantage

Tsurugashima has two expressway interchanges, Tsurugashima IC and Ken-Oh Tsurugashima IC, making it highly accessible for customers traveling from Hachioji, Kanagawa, Niigata, Gumma, and Nagano. Kakujo Fishery already operates a distribution and manufacturing center in Tsurugashima since 2023, laying the groundwork for this new retail outlet.

This new store signifies Kakujo Fishery’s commitment to provide local residents with high-quality seafood while fostering community engagement.

Community and Culture

The Tsurugashima Store will not only provide fresh ingredients but will also contribute to the revitalization of the local community by promoting safe, delicious food options. Kakujo Fishery aims to work hand in hand with the local populace to enhance the sense of community through shared values and offerings that celebrate the region’s aquatic heritage.
