世界中にある「おいしい」物をみんなに届けたい。
色々な地域を訪れると、その地域で色々な思いを持った人に出会うことができます。
生産者として毎日丹精を込めて作物を作られている方や、地元の食材を生かして新しい商品を作り出そうとしている加工業者さん、地元食材をふんだんに使い、季節の食材のマリアージュを楽しませてくれるレストランなど、上げ出すとキリがありません。
そんな方々にお会いして、おいしいご飯を食べていると、不思議なことにそこにはいつも笑顔が生まれ、楽しい時間がずっと続くのです。
その一方で、世界中で毎日の様に新しい商品が生み出され、一時的に消費され消えていく商品がほとんどで、多くの資源が使い捨てにされている状況が続いているという厳しい現実もあります。
今まで私たちは何十年と地域を歩き、多くの方々の思いに触れてきました。
地域の持っている課題を、人と人の繋がり、人と地域の繋がり、人と情報の繋がりをさらに重ね合わせることで、今まで埋もれていた多くの商品を少しでも多くの人に知ってもらい、そして１つでも末長く多くの方々に愛される商品を作っていきたい、そんな思いが日々強くなってきました。
私たちの紹介する情報や商品で少しでも皆様の周りに笑顔が生まれ、「美味しい！」と言っていただき、地域の課題が改善されるようがんばってまいります。

I want to deliver “
delicious” products from all over the world to everyone.
When you visit various regions, you will meet people who have various thoughts and feelings in those regions.
There are people who work diligently every day as producers, processors who are trying to create new products using local ingredients, restaurants that use plenty of local ingredients and offer a delightful marriage of seasonal ingredients, and the list goes on.
Strangely enough, meeting these people and eating their delicious food always brings a smile to my face, and the fun lasts forever.
On the other hand, the harsh reality is that new products are created every day all over the world, but most of them are consumed temporarily and disappear, and many resources continue to be used as disposable.
We have been walking around the region for decades and have come into contact with the thoughts and feelings of many people.
We have been walking around the region for decades and have come into contact with the thoughts and feelings of many people, and we have come to realize that by combining the challenges of the region with the connections between people, the connections between people and the region, and the connections between people and information, we want to make as many people as possible aware of the many products that have been buried until now, and to create products that will be loved by many people for many years to come. This is what I want to do.
We hope that the information and products we introduce will bring smiles to people’s faces and make them say, “Delicious! We hope that the information and products we introduce will bring smiles to people’s faces and make them say, “Delicious!
