M e s s a g eThis catalog of food products and companies located in four prefectures in Shikoku Island is published to introduce companies

interested in exporting their products and to provide an overall picture of each prefecture as a background of their food products.

Shikoku is a beautiful island with a mild climate and a rich natural environment. Each region boasts unique, high-quality food products

that grew out of local histories, culture and natural environments. The island truly is one of the most ideal places to find genuine

Japanese food products.

Companies listed in this catalog are those who participated in the Food Business Meetings held in Kochi and Tokushima City, which

were organized by JETRO in March 2011.

We sincerely hope that this catalog will be of use to those searching for the best and most-genuine Japanese food products from

Shikoku.

Japanese Food from Shikoku 1

OverviewShikoku is one of Japan’s four principal islands, which is located south of Honshu and east of Kyushu,

and is divided into four prefectures: Tokushima, Kagawa, Ehime and Kochi. These correspond to the four

former provinces of Awa, Sanuki, Iyo and Tosa, giving the island its name, which means “Four Provinces”.

The north coast of Shikoku faces the Seto Inland Sea, where many beautiful islands f loating in a calm sea

display impressive scenery. The south coast of Shikoku faces the Pacific Ocean, where the Kuroshio, or

“Black Current,” f lowing offshore makes for a rich fishing ground. The inland area is also covered by lush

forests and high mountain ranges, including peaks such as Mt. Ishizuchi and Mt. Tsurugi, which reach

nearly 2,000 meters. Running through these mountains are several beautiful rivers, such as Shimanto

River and Yoshino River, offering sometimes wild, and sometimes gentle views. Besides the region’s

impressive natural beauty, Shikoku also boasts rich cultural heritage, including Matsuyama Castle, the

Dogo Onsen and Kagawa’s plentiful artworks, as well as a number of popular festivals, such as Kochi’s

Yosakoi Dance and Tokushima’s Awaodori Dance.

Each area of Shikoku has its own special cuisine, many of

which are famous throughout Japan. These include Sanuki

Udon (wheat noodle) in K agawa , sudachi (c itr us fr uit)

and Naruto Kintoki (sweet potato) in Tokushima, yellow

tail and sea bream (fish) in Ehime, yuzu (citrus fruits) in

Kochi.

O v e r v i e wTokushima prefecture is located on the eastern part of Shikoku Island, facing the Seto Inland Sea, the

Kii Channel and the Pacific Ocean. Around 80% of the land is mountainous with bountiful forests and

beautiful rivers. This rich nature in Tokushima yields various kinds of agricultural and marine products in

abundance, and many of them are consumed in the Kansai Area, which includes Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto.

Besides foods, Tokushima is well-known for the Awaodori Dance, which takes place around mid-August.

Every summer season, over one million tourists from all over Japan - as well as overseas - come to enjoy

Handa Somen NoodleSomen noodles are one of the most popular noodles among Japanese

people besides udon, soba and ramen noodles. Handa Somen is quite

unique because it is thicker than normal somen noodles, and is well-

known for its “springiness”, which is an important point for Japanese

noodles. You can use this noodle for a variety of dishes, not only

for Japanese cuisine but also for Western or Asian cuisines such as

a pasta dish. (Picture: Handa Somen noodles in a salad style, which

goes perfectly with hot summer days.)

Naruto Kintoki (Sweet Potato)

Naruto Kintoki is the most famous sweet potato in Japan, of which

the price is highest among sweet potatoes. It is grown in sandy soil

near the coastal area around Naruto City, which makes the potatoes

as sweet as they can be. You can find many delicious processed foods,

like sweets and cakes, made from Naruto Kintoki.

in Japan, and the long days, warm climate and well-drained, rich soil

all combine to create the best conditions for growing wheat. This

superior wheat is used to produce Sanuki Udon, one of the area’s

signature dishes. These Sanuki Udon noodles are fragrant, chewy

and a delight to eat. Sanuki Udon is some of the most delicious udon

in the nation, and people visit from all over Japan just for a taste.

rumored to be a secret ingredient used by many chefs in French and

Italian food. The long, warm days create salt-pans, and the resulting

natural salt and high-quality wheat are combined to produce soy

sauce using traditional methods to this day.

2. Ponzu

This is a ponzu vinegar which uses very precious soy sauce

naturally brewed in barrels made of cypress trees as a base

ingredient. It is blended with Soda bonito flakes and kelp broth

with yuzu and sudachi juice. Preservation agents and artificial

flavoring are not used.

1. Tsuru Bishio

This soy sauce is naturally brewed in barrels made of cypress

trees, which are precious even in Japan. Commonly, soy sauce is

brewed over a period of about 3 months in tanks, but we prepare

in winter and brew for about 2 years. We then add more soy beans

and wheat and brew an additional 2 years for a total of 4 years.

Our sauce's rich and mild taste is perfect for pouring on or dipping

with your dish. Add a little bit of this sauce on vanilla ice cream to

create a caramel flavor.

Though we are a small organization consisting of just 3

employees, we take pride in preserving the traditional

method of brewing soy sauce. Commonly today, soy sauce

is produced at factories in tanks over a period of about 3

months, but we believe soy sauce should be made in barrels

made from cypress trees using the unique microorganism in

each brewery over a greater period of time. At present, ony

less than 1% of soy sauce is produced using this procedure.

We currently maintain 57 cypress tree barrels and brew our

product over a period of 1 to as many as 4 years.

2. Oboro Kelp

Our skillful workmen carefully handle this authentic oboro

kelp piece by piece in the Shimanto River area. This handmade

technique extracs the natural delicious taste (food additives-free).

1. Oboro Kelp

This "oboro" kelp from Hokkaido is carefully produced by

experienced craftworkers with high technology (Four of

them have over 20 years of experience) (food additives-

free). Please enjoy the light taste of this authentic kelp.

Our company has been supported mainly by local people

since it was established in 1968 in Sakai City, Osaka as a

kelp specialty shop.. After the war, our factory moved to

Shimanto City, Kochi and trained "oboro" craft workers (at

present 13 craft workers). In 2006, we moved to Sukumo

City, Kochi. It has been common practice for only "oboro"

craft workers and their families to produce the kelp, and

then for the shops to buy it from them.. However, with this

system, it is difficult to groom successors. At present, the

number of "oboro" specialists is less than 10 in Osaka and

even Tsuruga City the home of "oboro", has less than 200.

It is very rare that "oboro" craftworkers are employed by

companies like ours. We produce mainly "oboro" kelp which

must remain “domestic and handmade” products.

it had been used to make sake for Ohkami, who is the

greatest God.” Our brewery is located in beautiful nature in

which is close to the holy Niyodo River. It's also surrounded
