Background of the Joint Establishment
and Each Company’s Strengths
WASABI Inc., with expertise in e-commerce and system development, and Kikusui Sangyo, deeply engaged in Japanese traditional crafts and regional resources, came together to establish Tetote Inc. with the vision of becoming a bridge between e-commerce and Japanese culture.
By combining a robust system infrastructure that enables smooth listings across multiple domestic and international marketplaces with the ability to carefully curate Japan’s proud traditional products, Tetote delivers regional treasures to a wider audience.
Through product management, translation, and market expansion support, we play a vital role in connecting valuable products and people across the globe.
WASABI Inc.
WASABI Inc. is a professional company in unified e-commerce management systems, born from the real voices of the field— “We want to sell more efficiently, more freely, and to the world.”
Our in-house developed integration tool, WASABI SWITCH, allows products to be listed simultaneously on over 20 marketplaces, including Rakuten, Amazon, Yahoo Auctions, and eBay, with just a single product registration.
Inventory, order management, and even translation are all automatically synchronized, enabling smart sales both domestically and overseas.
Based on hands-on knowledge gained in the field, we have continuously developed and refined systems that people truly want to use. By reducing tedious tasks, we maximize sales and the possibilities for new challenges. This is WASABI’s mission.
With technology, we support an e-commerce future where “the world feels closer.”

Kikusui Sangyo Co., Ltd.
Founded in 1960, Kikusui Sangyo began as a manufacturer of domestically produced kuromoji toothpicks. Today, it continues this tradition as one of only two companies in Japan producing round-shaft domestic toothpicks.
Centered on wooden products, we value craftsmanship that enriches everyday Japanese life— from the continued production of domestic toothpicks to the planning and development of household goods that utilize local resources. We also handle imports, OEM, and ODM production, supplying department stores, specialty shops, and international markets.
Our work has been featured in numerous TV programs, newspapers, and magazines, drawing wide attention. Guided by the philosophy of “Crafting to enrich the heart,” we aim to become a bridge that carries Japan’s skills and aesthetic sensibilities to the next generation and to the world.
