A Message from the CEO

We at Akabane Bussan Philippine Foods and Goods Market started when we opened a small Philippine food store called Sarap Bussan located in Akabane, Kita-ku, Tokyo at 1993. I remember nostalgically that at that time, the numbers of Filipinos in Japan was still 70,000 but being supported by the powerful, bright and energetic customers, we felt a definite response to the Filipino market in Japan, which will expand further in the future.

One time, when a customer who purchased from the store said “could you send it to my house?” and requested to deliver the product, it became an opportunity to start a delivery service which deliver the purchased items and we started receiving many different requests like “could you send it to provinces?” or “I’ll buy more so could you make it cheaper?”. Therefore, to respond to such requests, starting 1997, we started Akabane Bussan Co., Ltd. formally as a Filipino telephone order retail company.

In 2002, the Filipinos in Japan increased up to about 140,000 and in order to accept more orders, we built a call center office in Ukima, Kita-ku, Tokyo. Precisely this time, Filipinos who get married to Japanese, build a family, and getting attached to Japan were rapidly increasing. While living in an unaccustomed Japanese life, without losing brightness. While pursuing what we can do to be able to provide better service towards customers seeking for their home country food, in 2005, by building a facility to manufacture products in our own company, we were able to provide high quality domestic manufactured goods. Days of challenge and exploration still continues today.

Meanwhile in 2010, “Akabane Philippine Square” building was built in Akabanenishi, Kita-ku, Tokyo and “Sarap Bussan” reopened. In 2017, as a base for product shipping, we increased our distribution center. I was able to maintain my business until today because of the support of many customers.

As of 2020 the number of Filipinos in Japan is increasing and reached more than 270,000. In addition, relatives of young generations invited from the Philippines, and next generation born with Japanese citizenship with Filipino roots’ needs and changes are felt even more. We are doing our best to deliver the products to generations who’s familiar with latest technology like smart phones or SNS. We will continue to think how we can make products that matches the changes in lifestyle and taste of people by living long in Japan.

No matter how this world changes, our basic principle “safer, cheaper, faster, more reliable Filipino food” won’t change.
From now on, we promise to be united with the employees and provide service that matches the generation and customers. We appreciate your continued support.
