株式会社 然 『食のルネサンス』
あるべきものを あるべき姿へ

株式会社然は
『 食 』という根源的なものを
無理なく、時代に応じた自然な形でご提案致します。

然の強み 2


1.味覚のスペシャリスト集団

  食料食材は、生きていくための栄養的価値や外観などの
  美的価値もありますが、最も重要なのはやはり食べたときの
  「味」であるといえます。

 科学が発達し、成分分析によって味が推測できると
  考えられるかもしれませんが、呈味物質の種類は多く、また、
相互作用など複雑な因子が絡み合っているため
化学分析では味を十分に評価することは出来ません。

そこで、然(ZEN)では卓越した生産者(目利き)との
直接コミケーション、そして専門家として限りない客観性を持つ、
料理人、ソムリエ、利酒師、フードコーディネーターなど、
  味覚におけるスペシャリスト達による官能チェックを踏まえて
  皆様に商品の提案を行っています。

  そして同じ食材でも、生産者、生産地が変われば味も変わり、
その特徴に応じた具体

的なご提案を行えることで、より幅広い
顧客開拓のサポートをさせて頂けるのです。

2.販売促進コンサルティング

  然(ZEN)は、単なる卸販売業ではありません。
ホテルや旅館、飲食店、小売店などサービス業全般に対して
集客、企画販売のコンサルティング実績を踏まえて、
より踏み込んだ販売提案をさせて頂くことができるのです。

食材の利用方法、ディスプレイ、Webツールの効果的利用法、
販売企画、商品開発など皆様の持っていらっしゃる、
『販売』のパフォーマンスを最大限にするサポートを行えます。

また、これらに伴うスタッフの方々への接客指導も含め
現場経験を踏まえた実践的な人事サポートもさせて頂けるのです。


補足


私達にとって、素材はとても大切な存在です。

畑に足を運び、土の状態や生育状況はもちろん、農家の方々とコミニケーションをはかり、土壌の物理性、植物生理、施肥設計など、まだまだ学びながらではありますが、日々素材に向き合っています。

優れた野菜は、自然、そして造り手の丹精した栽培のもと、畑に深く根をおろし生まれます。 目に見えない<根>が大地と野菜や果樹のあいだを媒介し、私たちの食卓を支えているのです。

私たちもまた、自然と消費者の皆様との間を取り持つ存在として、携わる仕事にその想いを込めて携わりたいと思っています。

私たちにとって真に優れた素材とは要件が多くなりますが

(1)バランス、味の深み、個性があり
(2)化学肥料や農薬など、人工的な味わいが少なく
(3)産地の自然環境や気候が体現され
(4)風味のなかに造り手の姿勢や想いが感じられるもの

これらを優れた素材として、基準を設けています。
一つの素材の中には、様々な個性的な味わいだけでなく、造り手自身の哲学、想いが表されていると思っています。

私達もまた食業界に携わる者として、こういった作り手の想いや自然の豊かさを表現できるように、目利きやご案内に工夫を重ねています。

私達は、このような考えに基づいて、主観的な自己満足に陥ることなく、 客観性を伴う『食』の美味しさと楽しさ、安全安心、そして消費者の皆さまに対する責任をまっとうするとともに、共に働く仲間と消費者の方々のご支持とご期待にお応えしたい、と考えています。

そして、生命を紡ぎだす「食」、楽しさをもたらす「食」というかけがえのない食文化を通じて、日常に喜びを、微笑みがこぼれるような『食文化』をお届けして参りたいと思います。

皆様の日常に、喜び、微笑みあふれる豊かな時間が少しでも届きますように。

This year as well, we carried out our annual onion food education program at an elementary school in Ashiya City!

The team from 2525 Farm kindly gave a detailed explanation of how onions are grown🧅

We also held our traditional onion quiz again this year, which got the children really excited and engaged!

2525 Farm has now grown into one of the leading farms on Awaji Island✨

It was a wonderful opportunity for the next generation of children to learn about the joy of agriculture and the deliciousness of Awaji onions.

There is an event in Thailand that is organised by Fukuoka Prefecture.

This year, we were able to successfully hold the Fukuoka Prefecture event thanks to the help of The Food School, a Thai culinary academy.

We are very grateful to The Food School, a Thai culinary academy, for their cooperation, which made it possible for us to successfully hold the Fukuoka Prefecture event this year.

This marks the third consecutive year that the Fukuoka Prefecture event has been held in Thailand, and we are deeply grateful to the various Thai companies that have contributed to the success of this event.

This event in particular wouldn't have been possible without the support of Professor Watanuki, who teaches at the Tsuji Culinary Institute.

We will endeavour to continue promoting the appeal of Japan to the world.

We are holding a Fukuoka Prefecture event in Bangkok again this year.

In preparation for the event, we were honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of escorting guests from Thailand to Fukuoka.

On the first day, we had the pleasure of travelling from Ukiha City to Yame City, where we had the opportunity to visit tea plantations and sake breweries. On the second day, we had the privilege of visiting the fishing association and Nori(海苔) production facilities, primarily in Yanagawa.

We were also fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit a variety of other sites, including Amaou strawberry and fruit production sites and a fish market.

In Bangkok, we are exploring opportunities to collaborate with a local food school, with a view to highlighting the unique features of Fukuoka Prefecture in Thailand.

It could be said that the appeal of food lies in the ability to share its deliciousness and enjoyment across borders.

We will have the opportunity to visit production sites and interact directly with producers as we promote the appeal of food to the world.

Visiting Producers on Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture and Tokushima Prefecture.

This year we have experienced another record year of high temperatures and extreme weather conditions, which have been called the highest on record.

These conditions have made it difficult to predict the weather. Despite these difficulties, we are constantly amazed and respectful of the farmers who are growing high quality crops.

We are eager to share their passion and the great value of their produce with the world!

The 69th Yokozuna, Hakuho, recently established a new organization called the World Sumo Grand Slam, which held its first world tournament in Bangkok, Thailand.

In conjunction with the tournament, a charity party hosted by Hakuho was organized. The event was a great success, with distinguished guests including the Ambassador of Japan to Thailand, the President of Toyota Thailand, and the IOC Representative for Thailand in attendance.

Zen provided extensive support for the event, including planning coordination, operational assistance, and local PR.

We are honored to have been part of this opportunity, supporting the launch of the World Sumo Grand Slam as it takes its first step from Bangkok onto the global stage!

18th Agri-Food Expo Tokyo

This is a national exhibition and business meeting with a focus on domestically produced products under the theme of “Connecting Agriculture and Food”, and is a valuable opportunity for us to meet our domestic business partners.

Agrifood is a coined word, but it has many meanings.

●Agriculture: all activities related to the production of agricultural products, such as seeds, fertilisers, farming equipment, farm work, etc.

●Food processing: activities to process agricultural products to produce food.

●Distribution: activities to transport produced and processed agricultural products to consumers.

●Consumption: the activity of buying and eating food by consumers.

Agri-food is not just about producing and distributing food, but is also related to various social issues such as food safety, environmental issues and food self-sufficiency.

The term “agri-food”, including “smart agri-food”, which aims for more efficient and sustainable agriculture by utilising technologies such as AI and IoT, encompasses a wide range of fields related to agriculture and food, and is a keyword for building a sustainable society, which our company is working on in various ways.

Doyo(土用) is the time just before the seasons start. This is when spring, summer, autumn and winter begin.
This year, the Doyo falls on 19 July and 31 July.

It's a little early, but the general affairs and sales staffs went to the well-known Shizuoka restaurant, Sumiyaki Shun, to cool off.

The restaurant "Sumiyaki Shun" has become so popular that it is no longer possible to make a reservation.

Mr. Okada proficiency in the art of charcoal-grilling is exceptional, and it is widely acknowledged that they are unparalleled in their expertise, ranking among the most accomplished culinary professionals in Japan.

Following a delicious meal, we were able to recharge our batteries and prepare for the summer sales season that is due to begin next week.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Okada-san for the special experience he has provided us with.

Iida, Nagano Prefecture, is a land rich in nature surrounded by the Central and Southern Alps.
Here, there is a man who carefully raises ayu using only high-quality groundwater that springs from the Southern Alps and keeps the water temperature low.


This is Mr. Kenji Tanada of Takumi Tenryu Ayu, who has been cultivating live ayu from Nagano Prefecture for 27 years.


Takumi Tenryu Ayu is dedicated to raising high-quality ayu with a strong fighting instinct.

The water temperature is 3 to 4 degrees lower than in general aquaculture, and the ayu are exercised by turning a water wheel, which helps them to thrive in a manner comparable to wild ayu!

In comparison to wild ayu, which may have varying quality, these ayu are in good condition when they arrive, are carefully selected to be sized (in 5mm increments), and have a very good taste.

Orders are coming in from many famous restaurants, including three-star restaurants in the Michelin Guide in Japan.

We are proud to be helping to spread this wonderful ayu to the world!
