About Us

STARZEN (AMERICA), INC. has its office in Los Angeles and delivers beef, pork, chicken and byproducts from North America and Latin America to Japanese households and restaurants. In addition to exporting to Japan, the company also sells its products domestically on the West Coast of the United States, where the food service industry is booming. By handling several breeds of livestock, it is able to address a wide range of food needs. As the globalization of meat procurement progresses, the company is working to increase its cost competitiveness and ability to provide a stable supply of meat in cooperation with group companies.

Leveraging its proximity to the production sites, it collaborates closely with local meat processors, jointly developing high-value-added products and providing guidance on quality management. In addition, in order to respond flexibly to the rapidly growing demand for Wagyu beef in the United States in recent years, it is working with the Japanese export department to expand the Japanese Wagyu beef business, focusing on local market research.
To deliver safe, reliable, and delicious meat to customers, the company will continue to pursue further improvements and provide high-quality meat based on the cornerstone of Starzen’s long-standing commitment to quality meat.

Starzen (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was established in December 2021 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Starzen Co., Ltd. China has a population of 1.4 billion, and meat demand is growing amid economic development. At the same time, because the supply from domestic production is not sufficient to cover consumption, meat imports have increased rapidly in recent years. This trend is expected to continue in the future.
Meanwhile, the market in Japan is expected to shrink due to its aging and declining population, making the development of overseas consumer markets an urgent task.
To overcome these circumstances, the company will focus on sales of imported meats, such as Australian beef, and Japanese meats, such as Japanese Wagyu beef, as well as the manufacture and sale of processed products utilizing the expertise of the Starzen Group. It will strive to establish a meat supply base in the huge market of China.
