About the brand

The fair trade brand "Sisam Kobo" was born in Kyoto in 1999. Shopping is about what kind of society you vote for. We propose a life with fair trade.

"Sisam" means "good neighbor" in the Ainu language. It expresses the desire to live in connection with people who live on the same earth as "good neighbors".

We aim to solve social issues such as poverty, child labor, and environmental problems by spreading fair trade products that aim to be "good for the five directions" of makers, sellers, buyers, society, and the global environment.

Official Assurance Member of the World Federation of Fair Trade (WFTO). It operates 9 directly managed stores, an online store, and a wholesale business. In 2022, he won the Grand Prize of the "Color Me Shop Award 2022".

Through the power of shopping, we will be a leader in creating a society full of compassion.

SISAM Kobo aims to solve social issues such as poverty, child labor, and environmental problems by disseminating products and services that aim for the "five directions" of creators, sellers, buyers, society, and the global environment, with a focus on fair trade.

In this context, we aim to create a society in which diverse people can enrich their relationships and coexist vibrantly as good neighbors (Sisam) living on the same earth (= "society full of compassion") based on dialogue and respect, transcending differences in race, gender, culture, religion, etc.

What are we doing?

From the development and sale of fair trade products, we aim to enrich the lives of producers.

We have partnered with 12 organizations in five Asian countries to develop fair trade products that can preserve the traditional culture of local producers and convey their splendor to the world.

In addition, we support not only employment, but also crowdfunding to procure equipment necessary for work, subsidize basic education for children of producers, and provide support for living with peace of mind according to the characteristics of the country or region through local NGOs.

Commitment to the product

Organic Cotton Work Apron

The basic apron, which incorporates the atmosphere of vintage workwear everywhere, is attractive because it is highly versatile and suitable for any occasion and any person.

The producer who works at Creative Handicrafts in Mumbai, India, is asking for production. Many of the people involved in sewing are women who live in slums.

The material is organic cotton and corozonut buttons that return to the soil.

We devised ways to make it easier to adjust so that unisex people could come.

With the desire for producers to steadily climb the technological ladder step by step, we have scattered sticking points everywhere.

SISAM COFFEE Neighbor's Blend DRIP PACK 15 Pack Set

The main dish is Filipino fair trade coffee. Beans from other Myanmar, Thailand, and Timor-Leste are also as close to fair trade as possible, which leads to support for producers to continue coffee cultivation with peace of mind.

The characteristics of beans from four Asian countries are mixed, and it is rich yet mild and satisfying. The bittersweet taste of coffee is followed by sweetness, and it is truly a bitter mild coffee.
