Link with the Production Area

Flower cultivation in Kumamoto Prefecture is said to date back to the mid-Edo period, making it a historic flower-producing area. From the warm Amakusa Islands and Yatsushiro region to the cool Aso region, we utilize the temperature differences within the region and achieve long-term stable shipments through relay shipping. Since cultivation began around 1985, farmers have produced alliums with bent flower stems one by one. In 2008, cultivation technology utilizing agricultural materials enabled to expand production, and currently, about 460,000 stems are shipped domestically and internationally.
