Celebrate Earth Day 2026 with Kuradashi's 'Fuzoroi All-Stars!'

As we approach Earth Day on April 22, Kuradashi, an innovative platform dedicated to promoting social good, is excited to introduce a special event titled 'Fuzoroi All-Stars!' This unique initiative is scheduled to run from April 20 to April 28 and aims to redefine irregular products as distinctive treasures in the culinary world. By doing so, Kuradashi encourages consumers to select their favorite products creatively and joyfully.

What is the 'Fuzoroi All-Stars!' Special?

Kuradashi's 'Fuzoroi All-Stars!' showcases a variety of irregularly shaped and blemished fruits and processed foods that, despite their unusual appearances, boast exceptional taste. The focus is on celebrating the varied traits and qualities of these products while introducing customers to the concept of 'pushing products' while shopping conveniently and enjoyably.

One of the highlighted items comes straight from Wakayama Prefecture, known for its exceptional plums. The 'Kishu Nanko Ume - Soft Crushed Plum Set' includes two flavors: shiso and honey, with a total weight of 600g.

Addressing Food Waste

According to Japan's Ministry of the Environment, the estimated food waste generated domestically in the fiscal year reaches around 4.64 million tons. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries further indicates that approximately 16.4 million tons of these food-related wastes remain untapped each year, often due to irregular shapes or imperfections.

At Kuradashi, we recognize the urgency in tackling this pervasive issue and have dedicated our efforts to assisting producers and manufacturers who face challenges in releasing theoretically 'perfect' foods due to their physical flaws. Through our platforms, we strive to cultivate a mindset that views these irregularities as evidence of natural growth and individuality.

This Earth Day, we invite everyone to come together and appreciate the value of these unsellable products. Let's actively participate in diminishing food waste while embracing the uniqueness that each product offers.

Discounts and Coupons

Moreover, participants in the 'Fuzoroi All-Stars!' event can benefit from discounts of up to 2,000 yen off on various products. Discounts will vary by item and will be available via coupons distributed during the event period.

Our goal is to foster a market where all kinds of products, regardless of their appearance, can thrive and find appreciative consumers.
