Our vision

Our vision Toyama Prefecture is blessed with good water. Through rivers and underground water veins, the snow on top of the Central Alps supplies water rich in minerals for the ground of Toyama. From the ground, we can obtain rice, soybeans, various vegetables and edible wild plants. Moreover, the water which has absorbed the nutritive resources of the ground flows into Toyama Bay and gives us an abundant supply of marine resources, such as very fresh fish which are known by its name “Kito Kito” fish in the dialect of Toyama.

We benefit a lot from nature, which makes the food culture of Toyama varied and full of indi-viduality. The blessings of nature in Toyama are indispensable also in the production of soybean paste and soy sauce. We would like to appreciate and protect the kindly fruits of nature which our ancestors have left and devote ourselves to daily production so that we can hand them over to the next generation.
