About Us

A note from our founder

I spent twelve years as a manager at one of Asia's largest seafood companies, holding the top sales record for the entire time. Three years ago I went independent and founded KS Seafood Trade.

My mission is simple: bring the finest seafood and the finest wagyu from Japan to the world.

The fastest path from Japan to your kitchen

Twenty-four hours. That is the gap between the boats at Toyosu Market and your restaurant in Los Angeles. Most seafood cannot touch that.

While others route through central wholesale markets, we go straight to the source. Our buyers are on the ground in Japan every morning, selecting seasonal catches — maguro, hamachi, uni, specialty seafood — with no middlemen and no broker markups. Trusted agents, trusted producers, exceptional catches secured before they ever reach the market. Fewer hands, a shorter chain, fresher fish.

And when it lands at LAX, it does not wait. From customs clearance to our trucks, same morning, same day delivery to your kitchen. An unbroken cold chain carries fresh catches from Tokyo to major U.S. restaurant hubs within 24 to 48 hours.

Who we serve

We supply top-tier omakase and Michelin-starred kitchens across Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and Miami.

From Japan to plate, nothing in between.
