About the brand

"I want to be a bridge between Japan and Peru" I want to establish what no one knows yet as a new "value" in Japan and contribute to understanding each culture.

Lucuma is a nutritious fruit that contains a well-balanced amount of dietary fiber, vitamins, iron, phosphorus, and calcium, as well as protein, fat, and sugar, which are the three major nutrients

Lucuma, a delicious fruit with a low GI but sweet and rich, is a very familiar fruit in Peru, but it is not distributed in Japan. It can be said that it is a rare and valuable fruit.

More about the Brand Owner

Naomi Sakaguchi

"I want to be a bridge between Japan and Peru" I was posted to Peru as a Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteer, where I encountered Latin culture and lucuma. What I strongly felt was that there is a gap in perception between Japan and South America because of their geographical distance and very different cultures. Peru and other South American countries are full of wonderful cultures and a world that we Japan never imagined. However, unfortunately, it is difficult to experience freely in Japan. I want to deepen mutual understanding and build a fair relationship as much as possible. With that in mind, we started our business. "Fair" here means that everyone is enriched and fulfilled by admiring each culture and values. I would like to contribute to the social problems of poverty and employment in Peru. I would like to establish something that no one knows yet as a new "value" in Japan and contribute to the understanding of each culture. My dream is to make South America a world where people can feel closer to home.

"I want to be a bridge between Japan and Peru"

I was working as a Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteer in Peru, South America.

After completing that activity, I strongly felt that

・Why are there so many wonderful agricultural products (superfoods) that suit the tastes of Japan people, but I have never seen them in Japan?

・ For Japan, South America = scary, unsafe, for South Americans, Japan = part of China (image of China: dirty, fake culture, etc.)

It means.

As a backpacker, I have traveled to more than 40 countries in Southeast Asia, India, and South America. From that experience, I became proud of being "Japan" and had a strong desire to convey my country to the world "accurately". Through LUCUMAPIE, it is possible to establish new "values" in Japan that are not yet unknown to everyone, contribute to cultural understanding, and correct prejudices.

What are we doing?

Peru's three major social problems: (1) poverty, (2) garbage, and (3) traffic congestion

In particular, "poverty" is a major issue, and according to the Peruvian Economic Institute (INEI), 20% of the population is said to be in extreme poverty. For those who are very poor, one family can spend about 10,000 yen per month.

On the other hand, Japan has entered a super-aging society, and the average life expectancy remains at a high level. Especially due to the recent influence of Corona, I feel the "importance of health" in my heart. There are many factors that go into a long, healthy life, and one of them is superfoods.

What Japan is looking for x What Peru is good By multiplying this, we want to build a win-win relationship. That's what I keep in mind.

It is a good thing from Lucuma and Peru, and it contributes to health-conscious Japan, and it can also contribute to social problems in Peru. Through this project, I would like to provide employment and opportunities to as many young people in Peru as possible with a high level of awareness, so that they can open up their future.

Commitment to the product

◆ Lucuma powder

1. Shipped directly from our organic factory in Peru

We sign direct contracts with factories that have obtained organic certifications such as USDA and import directly

2. Can be incorporated into any diet

Instead of sugar in dishes or sweets, sweeten it with a low GI lucuma. One of the attractions is that it can be easily consumed on a daily basis, such as Japanese and Western sweets and side dishes. You can easily consume the diet fruit "Lukuma" on a daily basis, such as making a smoothie with milk, soy milk, and fruit, or making a super easy side dish recipe for dinner

3. Supplement with 15g daily

By using 1 tablespoon of Lucuma powder every day, you can inoculate about 5g of dietary fiber

◆ Lucuma Ice Cream

1. By utilizing the unique sweetness of Lucuma ice cream using low GI lucuma, the amount of sugar used is reduced to about half that of general ice cream, resulting in an elegant ice cream that is healthy but gentle and sweet.

2. Only use organic lucumas

We manufacture ice cream at a factory in Japan using lucuma powder imported directly from a contract factory in Peru that has obtained organic certification such as USDA.

With organic quality, you can rest assured that it is manufactured in Japan.

3. The unsung hero of Lukma ice cream, "Cacao Nibs", a double superfood

Cacao nibs are also organic.

Cacao nibs are processed and coarsely crushed cacao beans, which are brown in appearance and a little hard. It is a very nutritious food and is generally eaten as it is, but the unique bitterness and acidity of cacao nibs are used as an accent for ice cream.

Who are supporting us?

Because of its characteristics, Lucuma has been highly evaluated by health-conscious customers.

Lucuma, which contains a good balance of nutrients, is safe to incorporate into your daily diet.

I have the impression that there are many customers who like sweets but refrain from doing so (for health reasons), and those who are sensitive to new information such as superfoods and are always concerned about the maintenance of their bodies.

The wholesalers we handle are characterized by supermarkets that sell quality, cafes and restaurants that offer healthy and new dishes, gyms that manufacture and sell proteins, and mail order that deals with the world's best products.

Many people may have problems such as lack of stimulation and stress because they can't easily experience a new culture while traveling. Also, Japan people are hard-working people who don't have a lot of time to spare, and they can't afford to go to the other side of the world. In order for such people to encounter new cultures and the unknown while in Japan, I will continue to work as a coordinator to connect Japan and the Incas.
