About the brand

Located in southern Kyushu but one of the most foggy mountain villages in Japan, rich soil, beautiful water, and severe temperature differences produce abundant agricultural resources. We deliver this richness in a delicious bottle.

The main raw materials are given to us by local producers Mr./Ms., and the materials are made domestically. Although it is produced in small quantities of 300 units per day, it is carefully made by craftsmen with safety as the first priority.

It makes the most of the bursting freshness and aroma of the fruit, and has a shelf life of one year without using any coloring or preservatives. The taste is characterized by exoticism and balance.

More about the Brand Owner

田畑奈津・立山まき子

Natsu Tabata/Makiko Tateyama

It is a project run by two women, Natsu Tabata and Makiko Tateyama, from Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture. Natsu's previous job was as a certified public accountant in the United States. Vacations free from the world of numbers traveled around the world to delicacies. But I secretly thought that the best gastronomy was in my hometown of Hitoyoshi. While returning home, he meets the landlady Makiko. Makiko is the fifth-generation proprietress of a tea merchant that has been around since the early Meiji era. I work in the traditions of this place. I have always admired the produce produced by the local producers. But doesn't the world know something so delicious? Why would they be forced to go out of business without a successor? Why is such a rich land reaching its limit due to population decline? When these two people met, Kumagawa Artisans began. We hope to share the richness of this area with people around the world by turning all of the agricultural resources of this area into unique products that will leave a lasting impression once you eat them.

A comprehensive regional brand that delivers deliciousness and richness

Located in the southern part of Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, the hometown of Kumagawa Artisans, the Hitoyoshi Kuma region is located in a basin where rapids run like veins.

The writer Ryotaro Shiba called this place "the richest hidden village". The fertile land nurtured by mountains and water produces incredibly rich agricultural resources.

This project was started with the aim of delivering untouched seasonal gems to everyone's hands together with local artisans from everyday life where the richness of the land and people that cannot be seen in the city is commonplace.

We aim to create a society in which the younger generation can settle in the region with U-turns and I-turns, creating a stable future by creating jobs through the rise of local industries, establishing a business model that connects Japan and the rest of the world while staying in rural areas, and raising the income level of local cities.

At the same time, we will increase Japan's food self-sufficiency rate by increasing the economic effect on farmers and encouraging them to pass it on to the next generation.

We hope to help make the world a better place by keeping the traditions and culture that have been nurtured from the Jomon and Yayoi periods to the present day, and sharing the rich lifestyles unique to healthy and fulfilling regions not only with residents but also with related and interacting populations.

The people who walk with us are young and old, men and women, producer Mr./Ms.s who risk their lives to make food for Japan, artisans (craftsmen) who are in charge of manufacturing and processing, and people who are responsible for on-time delivery, and Kumagawa Artisans is here.

What are we doing?

The main raw material is Hitoyoshi Kuma, and the ingredients are used in the prefecture, Kyushu, and domestic countries as much as possible.

In order to maximize the appeal of the ingredients, no food additives or colorants are used, and they are carefully handmade by artisans in a dedicated processing factory Mr./Ms. our own processing factory.

The first goal of the SDG's that we are conscious of is the elimination of poverty. In order to reduce income disparities by region, we try to be fair trade as much as possible.

We pay those who work for us on a national basis, and we never haggle with producers who share raw materials with Mr./Ms.. We may pay the same amount as a genuine product for non-standard products.

The reality is that it has a high cost and is not competitive. But I'm sure we can overcome it with ingenuity.

In addition, climate change is the cause of the torrential rain disasters that hit all over Japan and the poor crop crops. We were also affected by the torrential rain disaster in Reiwa 2, and decided to use environmentally friendly materials as much as possible. In addition, we believe that sending out unpalatable products that do not suit the customer's taste is the greatest food loss, and we make delicious products so that customers can eat all of them.
