The National Fisheries Institute (NFI) Sushi Council has confirmed the addition of Hissho Sushi to its growing roster of members. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Hissho Sushi is one of the US’s leading sushi providers and franchisors – known for delivering premium, chef-crafted sushi made fresh daily across a variety of retail and foodservice environments.
“Responsible sourcing is more than a business practice – it’s a responsibility we take seriously at Hissho Sushi,” Hissho Sushi Vice President of Food Safety and Compliance Rupesh Modi said. “From partnering with top-tier sushi suppliers to ensuring full traceability and sustainability, our commitment to food safety and transparency aligns closely with the mission of the NFI Sushi Council.”
Founded 25 years ago, Hissho Sushi has grown to become one of the largest sushi distributors in the US, operating in over 2,600 locations nationwide, including grocery retailers, airports, universities and hospitals. The company serves more than 125,000 pounds of responsibly sourced seafood weekly, underscoring its dedication to quality, innovation and accessibility in the sushi space.
“Hissho Sushi’s inclusion into the NFI Sushi Council is a major step forward for our organization,” said Council Chairman Michael McNicholas of Culimer USA. “With a company of their volume and influence in our corner, the Sushi Council’s role as a unified voice for the industry strengthens and amplifies.”
