"Our main product here in Japan is coffee, and we’re focused on finding ways to directly enter the market. Were also exploring opportunities to collaborate on technology that can help us add value to our agricultural products. For example, with coffee, we aim to process it to the highest standards for export. We also have pineapples and other fruits, and we’re looking for the right technology to enhance their value, so we can export them, including to Japan."

"Im trying to find a way for people to connect and experience how onsens have developed here in Japan, even if they dont have scientific knowledge about it, while also understanding the value they offer."

"We’re using traditional Japanese techniques, particularly in the lowlands, where rice is grown in water. There are two types of rice: upland rice and lowland rice. Lowland rice is grown in water, and the method of wetland rice cultivation actually originated here. While we used to grow rice on the hills, the wetland planting technique was introduced later."

"What sets Japanese products apart is their quality. They are known for being reliable, and when you buy something made in Japan, you can be confident in its craftsmanship and durability."

"Flowers are good. There’s a way they take away stress and you can think positively when you have a look at something interesting, something attractive."
