Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Mitsubishi Shokuhin Co., Ltd. is involved in the wholesale distribution of processed foods, frozen and chilled foods, alcoholic beverages, and confectioneries both in Japan and internationally, with a market cap of ¥216.87 billion.

Operations: Mitsubishi Shokuhin Co., Ltd.'s revenue segments include processed foods, frozen and chilled foods, alcoholic beverages, and confectioneries.
