Why are we doing?

The reason why we at Nishikando launched the brand was because of our strong desire to "change the world through food." In modern society, serious problems such as food loss, food safety, and hunger are piling up. While mass production and mass disposal have become commonplace, we have been heartbroken by the reality that there are people who have food problems. Even before the word SDGs spread, we have cherished the good old Japanese spirit of "Mottainai" and the idea of a grandmother's wisdom bag, and have made it our belief in using up all the ingredients until the end.
 
 
Through this brand, we want to contribute to the local Fukui, Sakai City, and all the people who live there. Our mission is not only to deliver delicious sweets, but also to work hand in hand with local farmers and producers to convey the charm of Fukui and the warmth of its people throughout the country and the world. We continue to seek mechanisms that will lead to the reduction of food loss and the revitalization of local communities by allowing people to choose products.
 
We are also actively engaged in community cleanup activities and garbage pick-up, which can be done in our daily lives. Our management philosophy is to return the company's profits to society and contribute to everyone in the world. We launched the brand because we wanted to give shape to these thoughts and connect people and the community with the power of food through activities rooted in the community.
 
Based on the concept of "being honest and wilty with materials," we will continue to walk together with the local community, valuing the attitude of not being afraid of change and continuing to take on challenges.

What are we doing?

At Nishikando, we are making sweets that take advantage of Fukui's rich nature and the warmth of its people, based on the concept of "being honest with ingredients and being gentle." What we value is not only local production for local consumption, but also direct contact with local farmers and producers to promote product development together. For example, we work closely with local producers such as strawberry farmer ICHIGOOJI in Harue, soybean farmers, Shino Salt Works on the Echizen Coast, and Kawabata Farm in Mikuni to bring out the best in each ingredient.
 
In the process of product manufacturing, we actively use non-standard vegetables and fruits to reduce food loss as much as possible. This is an initiative to make use of the spirit of "Mottainai" in modern times, and is highly regarded from the perspective of the SDGs. In addition, we practice sustainable manufacturing by minimizing waste in the manufacturing process and utilizing surplus materials for new product development.
 
Furthermore, our commitment is to realize "what is taken for granted at a level that is not taken for granted". With sincerity, care, and passion, we always aim for the highest standards at that time. For example, we use luxurious ingredients unique to Fukui, such as local salt and soybeans, for our salt and salt pudding, and do not use unnecessary additives as much as possible to bring out the original taste of the ingredients.
 
We also deepen our connection with the local community through participation in local cleanup activities and events. Through these activities, we hope to become a brand that contributes to the charm of Fukui and solving problems as a member of the community, not just a confectionery store.

Commitment to the product

Nishikando's products are all gems that have been carefully made using local Fukui ingredients. Among them, we will introduce three of the most popular main products and notable products.
 
The first is "Shiodora". This is a Japanese confectionery made with locally grown salt and soybeans wrapped in a fluffy dough. It is characterized by its mildly sweet and elegant taste, and goes well with coffee and tea. Many locals say that it has a nostalgic taste and is perfect as a souvenir, and many repeat customers come to this product.
 
The second is "salt pudding". Made with salt from Shino Salt Works on the Echizen coast of Fukui City, this pudding has a perfect balance of mild sweetness and slight saltiness. In order to take advantage of the goodness of the ingredients, no preservatives or colorings are used as much as possible, and it is characterized by a smooth mouthfeel and gentle taste. It is loved by a wide range of generations, from children to the elderly, and has received many comments from customers such as "It is not too sweet and has a clean aftertaste" and "It is delicious with the flavor of local salt."
 
The third is "Premium Vanilla Chiffon". A vanilla chiffon cake with a fluffy and light melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Taking advantage of Fukui's ingredients, each dish is carefully baked one by one and has a gentle taste. The dough is moist with the power of eggs, and has a fine, fluffy, and light texture. The moment you put it in your mouth, the elegant sweet aroma of vanilla spreads, creating a simple and timeless taste that anyone can eat.
Not only can you enjoy it deliciously on its own, but you can also enjoy arranging it with cream and fruit.
It is also recommended for tea time, souvenirs, and treats for yourself.
 
All of these products bring out the best in the materials and are finished with careful handwork. In order to make you feel the charm of the local area, the packaging incorporates the uniqueness of Fukui and is also used as a gift or as a return gift for hometown tax payment.

Who are supporting us?

In particular, the Nishikando Ami store in Al Plaza Ami is popular as a place where customers and families can easily stop by on their way home from shopping.
 
Many customers have commented that they can eat it with peace of mind because they use local ingredients, that they want to feed their children, and that they will be very happy if they are given as gifts. In addition, through social media and word of mouth, the number of orders and repeat customers from far away is increasing, and the brand is supported by many people beyond the boundaries of the region.
