About KIYOI
A Legacy of Purity, Quality, and Trust
KIYOI is a trusted source for premium seafood in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our story
Built on Relationships
KIYOI was founded with a simple mission: to bring the finest seafood from Tokyo's legendary fish market to the San Francisco Bay Area's most discerning restaurants.
We've built direct relationships with suppliers at Tokyo's Toyosu Market. These relationships give us access to the highest quality seafood.
Today, we serve more than 500 restaurants across the Bay Area, from neighborhood sushi bars to Michelin-starred establishments.
WHY KIYOI
The KIYOI Difference
Purity
Kiyoi (清い) means pure and clear in Japanese. It's the standard we hold every product to, from the market to your kitchen.
Toyosu + Global Sourcing
Direct relationships at Tokyo's Toyosu Market, plus trusted suppliers worldwide. Every product is inspected before it leaves our warehouse.
A Rep Who Knows You
You'll know your sales rep by name, and new inquiries get a reply within 2 hours.
Reliable Cold-Chain Delivery
Temperature-controlled trucks, experienced drivers, and a consistent delivery schedule.
Easy to Start
No rigid minimums for new accounts, and we stand behind every product. If something isn't right, we'll make it right.
OUR FACILITY
On-Site Tuna Processing
Unlike typical distributors, we process whole tuna in-house. Scaling, filleting, deboning, and skinning, with quality control from start to finish.
Whole Fish, Broken Down Here
We receive whole bluefin, bigeye, and yellowfin tuna and break them down in-house.
Processed to Order
Fish is processed in-house to your order (scaling, filleting, deboning, skinning), then packed for delivery.
Better Value
Buying whole fish means savings we pass on to you.
