千興ファーム Business-Use Basashi Online Shop is a B2B e-commerce procurement site operated by 株式会社千興ファーム for restaurants, small retailers, and the foodservice/ready-meal industries. It mainly sells frozen commercial ingredients such as basashi, horse-meat yukhoe, lean cuts, marbled cuts, loin, horse tail, and horse-meat hamburg steaks. The site emphasizes that it is a “comprehensive horse-meat manufacturer” headquartered in Kumamoto Prefecture, serving izakaya, sushi restaurants, yakiniku restaurants, hot-pot restaurants, specialty horse-meat restaurants, mass retailers, and more.
From a supply-chain perspective, the text indicates that live horses are mainly sourced from Canada and finished at the company’s own farm in Kumamoto; French-origin meat may also be used depending on inventory. Its key selling points are Japan’s only integrated production line for raw-consumption horse-meat products, HACCP-compliant facilities, and SQF food-safety certification. The product formats are geared toward practical restaurant operations, such as 50g × 20 pre-cut yukhoe strips, 40g × 20 kalbi yukhoe, fixed-weight 800g lean/loin/marbled cuts, 1kg horse tail, and 30-piece packs of horse-meat hamburg steaks, helping reduce preparation, serving, and waste-management burdens.
Most product prices are shown as “members only,” requiring login to view them, which makes quick price comparison difficult for unregistered customers. New customers can purchase a one-time trial set of three items, listed at 1,500 yen before tax, with shipping adjusted to 0 yen when purchased separately. The site accepts credit-card orders; orders can also be placed by phone or fax, but these are cash-on-delivery only and do not earn points. Customers earn 1 point for every 100 yen spent, and 1 point can be redeemed for 1 yen. Delivery is handled by ヤマト運輸, with products arriving frozen. Customers can specify delivery dates and certain time slots; if no date is specified, orders are generally shipped within three business days, with the shortest order-to-arrival time being about one week. Frozen and refrigerated items cannot be shipped together, resulting in separate shipping fees.
The strengths are its high degree of vertical specialization, relatively complete descriptions of safety certifications and raw-meat processing capabilities, and SKU coverage across sashimi, grilling items, processed products, appetizers, hot-pot ingredients, sushi, and rice dishes. It also provides hygiene inspection certificates, POP promotional materials, and paid samples. The drawbacks are limited public price transparency, no subscription/recurring delivery function, higher costs due to separate frozen and refrigerated shipments, and no clear information on cross-border sales, overseas delivery, or accessibility from China.
It is best suited to domestic Japanese restaurant, retail, and chain buyers, especially businesses looking to quickly introduce horse-meat menu items while reducing back-of-house processing complexity. The text does not provide information on access from China, so its status is unknown. If purchasing from China, buyers would need to separately confirm import qualifications, cold-chain logistics, quarantine requirements, payment, and delivery arrangements.
