Sourcing the Goodness

Some ingredients are sourced from their FZ Farm Furusato Vineyard, a vineyard inherited by the company, which boasts a rich 50-year history in grape cultivation. As of last fall, they began harvesting four different grape varieties for use in their smoothies. This initiative not only promotes health through fresh ingredients but also supports local agriculture.
