Initiatives for food safety
Fujimoto Shoten purchases and refines tencha from certified organic producers in Nara and Kagoshima, as well as Uji Tencha in Kyoto, which is blessed with tea cultivation.
In order to meet the wide-ranging needs of our customers, we have introduced a food safety management system, which we continuously review to provide safe and secure tea.
Contribution to social activities
We will work to solve social issues and realize a sustainable society through our corporate activities.

JONA organic JAS
It is a certification mark necessary for selling goods as organic tea. We have undergone strict judgment at JONA (Japan Organic & Natural Foods Association) as third party certification body. It was acquired in June 2011 to be able to provide products that can be shipped as organic tea not only domestically but also overseas, pursuant to the standards of the organic JAS method.

FSSC22000
FSSC 22000, one of food safety management systems, is a standard developed by combining ISO 22000 and PAS 220 series by FSSC (The Foundation of Food Safety Certification) in the Netherlands. We acquired it in December 2017 as an effort of world-class food safety system.

Rainforest Alliance
Rainforest Alliance certification is an agricultural certification aimed at creating a better future for people and nature. We obtained this in December 2019.
As part of our activities to contribute to society through tea, we are working on gender issues and preserving a comfortable working environment.

Message from the President
Since its founding in 1936, Fujimoto Shoten Co., Ltd. has valued ties with various people through tea.
In addition, in order to meet the needs of the times, we are working to create better products by making use of the characteristics of the production area.
In recent years, the demand for matcha has increased, and it is used not only for drinking but also as a processed raw material for all kinds of foods.
In particular, matcha from Uji, Kyoto is one of the top brands in Japan.
It is characterized by its sweet and flavorful taste, which is cultivated in Japan's unique Ohishita cultivation.
At Fujimoto Shoten Co., Ltd., tencha, the raw material of matcha, is carefully selected and processed under thorough quality control.
We will continue to strive every day to provide more hygienic and safe products.
