・History of Yoshizawa Livestock Group
Yoshizawa Shoten is a meat retailer that opened in Ginza 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo in 1924. The founder, Yoshizawa Kazuichi, used to transport cattle raised in the Matsusaka area of Mie Prefecture and other areas by train to Tokyo for sale. He later set up a store in Ginza 3-chome, opened Sukiyaki Kappo Ginza Yoshizawa on the second floor, and established Yoshizawa Shoten Co., Ltd. in 1949. As vice-chairman of the Matsusaka Beef Cattle Association, which was established in 1958, he contributed to spreading the name of Matsusaka beef throughout the country. With the opening of the Tokyo Meat Market, the wholesale division was separated in 1967 and Yoshizawa Livestock Co., Ltd. was established as a designated intermediate wholesaler approved by the Tokyo Governor.
