Business Areas
SEA VEGETABLE COMPANY operates across four business areas: seaweed production, processing and sales; research and development, field trials, and marine surveys; culinary experiences; and new business development and strategic partnerships. Through our technologies, we are producing truly delicious seaweed and making it accessible to more people, working to create a healthier future for both the ocean and people.
Production, Processing & Sales
An End-to-End Approach
Delivering delicious seaweed unlike anything before.
We continuously explore the potential of seaweed as a food ingredient and produce seaweed in collaboration with professional chefs, researchers, fishermen, and local residents. In addition to developing our own products, we supply seaweed to manufacturers, retailers, and restaurants, and continue working to bring the deliciousness of seaweed to as many people as possible. We are also working to share the right health value of seaweed with the community through rigorous research, seaweed quality control, and nutritional analysis. As well as various offerings of recipes that inspire people to enjoy seaweed in their everyday lives.
Research, Field Trials & Marine Surveys
Pioneering Seaweed Seedling
Large-Scale Cultivation Technologies
To contribute the future of businesses and local communities.
We receive a wide range of inquiries from companies and local governments regarding issues such as a shortage of raw ingredients: seaweed for their products, decline of the local fishing industry, and opportunities to contribute to nature-positivity and blue carbon projects. Leveraging the seaweed cultivation technologies developed through our in-house research, we have successfully established large-scale production methods for more than 10 seaweed species that had never been cultivated at scale before. Furthermore, we are working with local governments and fishermen across Japan to create new seaweed production areas.
Culinary Experiences
A new taste of seaweed
Open as a dining experience
Expanding the circle of people who foster food culture
We are working to convey the deliciousness and diverse uses of seaweed through culinary experiences. In Yaesu, Tokyo, we have opened SEAVEGE- Stand, a restaurant that focuses on seaweed, and SEAVEGE- Kitchen Lab, which specialises in research on seaweed culinary development, processing, and fermentation. We believe that actively creating these food experiences nurtures the community, fosters food culture, and opens up new opportunities.
New Business Development & Partnerships
Beyond the development of seaweed food culture
Exploring possibilities in collaboration
We collaborate with a diverse range of partners in Japan and around the world to unlock new possibilities for seaweed beyond food. By working with businesses across a wide range of industries, we are creating new markets yet to be discovered worldwide and expanding globally. Moreover, we aim to create a sustainable ecosystem that connects the seaweed industry, food culture, local communities, and the marine environment.
SEA VEGETABLE Co Creation Project
In 2025, we launched a Co-Creation Project to open up new possibilities for seaweed, with the aim of restoring the marine ecosystem and creating a seaweed food culture. This is a project community where companies from multiple fields and industries participate and work together to create the future of the ocean.
We have summarized our past activities and examples with other companies and local governments.
