- We grow medicinal plants in our own farm in Sapporo, making crops which become raw materials for our products.
We do not use any chemical fertilizer at all, we are returning to the field all plants and flowers materials after having extracted the components of interest for our products; as fertilizer, in a natural closed loop type of agriculture.
- 1. "Deepen understanding of plants, development of new products"
Most of the medicine is made with plants or draw inspiration from plants.
We deepen our understanding of plants by raising them and then use them in making high quality products.
2. "Secure high quality and safe raw materials"
We grow plants with our own hands and make sure to secure safe raw materials that will become the base of our medicines.
3. "Making a Model for the future of Japanese Farming"
Eliminate loss of raw materials and increase profit per unit area of agricultural land.
By extracting and processing raw materials, we produce high value-added raw materials and products.
Current agriculture model generate many crop losses (over 50% discarded). By raising plants that are raw materials, processing them, reducing losses, and adding value to them, we can make products without left overs. We believe that our efforts could become a future agricultural model.
- We are currently cultivating Hamanasu (litteraly “beach aubergine" or Hamanashi "beach pear") in our field, also known as Japanese Rose. The Latin name of Hamanasu is "Rosa rugosa Thunb" it is a plant classified as a Rosaceae family and Rosa Genus.
In Hokkaido, wild species are growing nicely along the coast, and is often seen as a street tree. It's a deciduous shrub with a lot of fine thorns, growing to a height of 1 to 1.5 m and a width of 1.5 to 2 m. The blooming in Hokkaido occurs from June to August, red fragrant flowers come in bloom, and in August to September they bear fruits of red orange color. Hamanasu flowers are used as tea, roots are used as dyes and also used as rose hips, tea or jam. We process and use our roses without surplus. For detailed research and development about Hamanasu, please see here.
