Our Story

In 1853, President Fillmore commissioned Commodore Matthew Perry to embark on a yearlong journey to Japan. His mission was to reach the shores of Japan and open the country to American trade. Mr. Moto, a gourmand and art connoisseur, traveled alongside Commodore Perry aboard his flagship, the USS Susquehanna. Amid his travels, he discovered the quiet artistry of sushi — a perfect harmony of sea and land, of craft and care.

Far from home, Mr. Moto kept his connections alive through parcels sent across oceans — letters, keepsakes, and tokens of affection. Each package carried a reminder that distance cannot diminish love. When he returned, he sought to share not just mementos, but flavors. Around his table, he offered his friends and family a new kind of parcel — one made of taste and time, wrapped in warmth and memory. For Mr. Moto, every dish became a gesture of connection, a way to bring people closer through the beauty of shared discovery.
