The most delicious Shiitake mushrooms grow on sawtooth oak logs, which are famous for their sweet sap. Kyushu has the highest percentage of sawtooth oak trees. The three prefectures of Oita, Miyazaki, and Kumamoto produce 70% of the nation's dried Shiitake, and Takachiho-go, where our company is located, is in the middle.
The delicious Forest-grown Shiitake can only be grown by families living deep in the mountains in harmony with nature in their forests. We support small-scale growers by buying all the dried Shiitake brought in by about 600 nearby producers for cash. We have been doing this for over 50 years, and we won the grand prize of the Sustainability Award 2020 by the Japanese government MAFF.
Forest-grown Shiitake in Japan are originally grown without pesticides. Furthermore, we have developed a system to reduce contamination to zero, even insect eggs, without using chemicals. We are the first company in the world to receive Kosher certification for Forest-grown Shiitake. Recently, we have obtained JAS organic certification with enthusiastic producers' cooperation.

Natural farm in Hokkaido who makes delicious vegetables. We cultivate our crops naturally without using pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides in a 3.5-hectare field in Kita-ku, Sapporo and a 1-hectare rice field in the neighboring town of Tobetsu. We try our best to deliver safe and secure crops to our customers by utilizing the characteristics of the crops based on self-seeding.

A part of the field is open to visitors as a self-harvesting zone. If you are too busy to grow vegetables but want to experience harvesting, or if you just want to have a little experience before starting your own vegetable garden, you can harvest vegetables of your choice at your convenience.

I wanted to be a farmer since I was a kid. I studied at Tokyo University of Agriculture and was dispatched to Paraguay as a Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteer (a vegetable cultivation instructor).

I started lemon farming in Ikuchijima, Hiroshima at the age of 70 after I retired from a local ship building company at 68. People used to say lemon farming makes little business sense because it needs a large amount of fertilizer and lemon trees need to be planted on a steep slope to get enough sunshine, which makes the farmer's work much harder. I have been taking care of my farm without using chemical fertilizer and pesticides. We also never use preservatives and wax when we ship our lemons.

Other farmers called me "stranger" or "reckless" when I started, but the trees started to bear large lemons after around three years. Today, I grow about 50 lemon trees and produce safe lemons, which you can eat with its peel.
