  • Umami

Umami is the fifth taste, the one that gives depth to a dish.

03The bridge

Bridge is what we do: we link the people who make food with the French and European table.

04What we do

We import and distribute food brands.

We look for food brands worth crossing borders for, wherever they come from, whatever they make.

  1. 01

    Select

    We choose them for their taste and their craft.

  2. 02

    Import

    We buy them, ship them and answer for them on the European market: labels, safety, traceability.

  3. 03

    Distribute

    We bring them to the shops, chefs and buyers who will love them.

Each brand keeps its own face. Umami Bridge is the frame.

Wild Rice, from Thailand, is the first brand we carry.

05The mark

正. Five strokes. Genuine, authentic.

In East Asia, people also count to five by drawing 正, stroke by stroke.
