The Features of Vegetables in Toyosu Market
Have you ever found some surprising fruits and vegetables at a greengrocer or a supermarket? Or, served a beautiful dish decorated by colorful leaves or tiny flowers? Toyosu Market handles a variety of vegetables with special virtues. We support Japanese traditional food culture that respects sense of seasons and fascinating appearance, as well as today’s Tokyo food scene you can enjoy the diverse choices of Japanese regional and international cuisine.
Collaborating with different producing areas for stable supply through the year or for taking ahead of seasons
To meet the needs of both consumers and our commercial customers such as restaurants and hotels, we strive to assess the natural seasons of our foods and provide steady supplies throughout the year.
We coordinate with farmers throughout Japan to create the ideal relay of supplies through methods such as forced cultivation, which enables vegetables grown in warm areas to be harvested sooner, and controlled cultivation, in which the cool climate of highlands is used to enable vegetables to be delivered later.
Handling the finest produce and influencing their market evaluation
To meet our commercial customers' needs for premium products such as matsutake mushrooms and Japanese horseradish, we order the highest quality produce from all over Japan. We act as a leader in the field, providing information on quality and demand to markets throughout Japan.
Offering a rich assortment of garnishing leaves, herbs and flowers
In addition to providing a range of vegetables suitable for cuisine from various regions and countries, we have an extensive range of garnishes such as leaves and flowers to decorate dishes such as sashimi.
Popularizing the luxury foods by increasing the amount of production
Vegetables such as daikon sprouts, Japanese ginger and green shiso were once luxury products that were used as decorations, garnishes and spices in restaurants such as sushi restaurants and traditional Japanese restaurants but were out of the average household's reach. Thanks to collaborations with farmers that resulted in greater production volumes, they are now common household groceries.
Promoting the expansion of domestic production varieties
Our work with farmers has enabled domestic production of vegetables that previously needed to be imported.
For example, paprika and zucchini can now be grown in fields in Japan.
Cultivation of coriander, a rare seasoning, has also become widespread in Japan recently.
