TOKYO, Jan. 24 – The products featured in the series of Isson Ippin articles in the Japan Agricultural News (in Japanese) are now available at an online farmers market portal run by the National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations (ZEN-NOH), the JA Town.

The merchandise include the 2022 Grand Prize winner, Takasaki Fresh Pasta from JA Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture, the 2016 Grand Prize winner, Jukushi Imo (dried sweet potatoes) from JA Aozora in Kagoshima Prefecture, and the 2013 Grand Prize winner, Seven-major-allergen-free Mame Mayo (seven-major-allergen-free mayonnaise made of soy milk) from JA Yanagawa in Fukuoka Prefecture. “Please enjoy the excellent products from all over Japan, which are known only by a limited number of foodies and locals,” said a person in charge of the food market business of ZEN-NOH. |
