We reweave the connection
between nature, growers, and people.
Ame Kaze Taiyo, Inc. creates active interaction between various locations across Japan (including exchanges between cities and rural areas), to reweave the connection between nature, growers, and people. By sharing the stories behind food production, we expand mutually beneficial relationships between producers and consumers, and shed light on the gratitude and joy that can be gained from such connections.
