From Kagawa, on the Seto Inland Sea
Sanuki City, Kagawa. A land of mild weather and little rain on the Seto Inland Sea, where we started growing okra, garlic and Kagawa hontaka chili in 2021.
Okra is a summer crop, plain and simple. From June to September we're in the greenhouse rows at dawn, picking every pod while the morning is still cool. Outside those months, the field rests — we don't force a summer crop to exist year-round.
Growing this way means it isn't available all year, and that's the point. Every pod is hand-sorted the day it's harvested and shipped at its seasonal peak — not stored, not carried over. Our motto is simple: good produce, in its season, for as many people as possible.
We rely on daily observation and experience rather than pesticides wherever we can.
We make the most of the Seto Inland Sea's mild climate, with careful attention to the soil from the start.
We harvest on the morning of shipment — whatever's in season, picked at dawn, on your doorstep the same day.
Proof of what's behind the produce
Our growing is recognized by both Kagawa Prefecture and the national government.
A Kagawa Prefecture certification for produce grown in the prefecture. Earning it is a point of pride for Kagawa farmers — and a mark of trust in where your vegetables come from and how they are grown.
Certified under Japan's Act on Promotion of Sustainable Food Systems (the national “Midori” green-farming scheme, MAFF). It recognizes producers who farm in ways that ease the burden on the environment, and comes with Kagawa's own green certification mark.
