History of KARAKU INC.
History of TOURIAN
In late 1945, our grandparents started growing grapes (Campbell Early).
In mid 1955, on a farm of about 60 hectares, we started growing Okubo white peaches.
In 1987, our parents inherited the business and expanded the farm of growing peaches due to the policy of reducing rice production.
In order to find a better cultivation method of delicious peaches, we have tried the Okayama method and Naganobevel method. In 1998, we found a natural cultivation method, which grows peaches of high quality and durability with less pruning and brings the potential of peach trees into full play.
We applied the Algit agriculture method of natural algae, full of vitamins and minerals, to implement the ecological farming.
We started with Bakture agriculture for activating microorganisms and vitalizing soil.

Education and Experience of Representative
I was born in 1975 in Shiso City, Hyogo and graduated from Okayama Shoka University.
As for the operation and management of food shops, I worked in a production company in Okayama, which expanded business to overseas market, and in the planning office of a paper container manufacturing company. I am a designer with experience of more than 10 years. About 4 years ago, I inherited the farm TOURIAN of 60-year history from my wife’s family.
In November of 2016, we established KARAKU INC. and obtained the farmer’s certificate. Our comprehensive business plans were approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan.
“We hope that everyone can taste the deliciousness of white peaches, the pride of Okayama, all year round” Based on this idea, we challenged the issue of long-term preservation.
Last year, our products debut in in theLightning Talk of 2018 Tech Planter. We studied in OIP and were awarded the Grand Prix of the Okayama Innovation Contest.
We also won the opportunity of a study tour to Silicon Valley. In the 2018 BusinessPlan Contest Okayama(NEWORK EXPO), we won the most supported prize by the support of 24 companies.
From last November, we started selling our product “Golden Peach”. In the first year, 3,000 peaches were sold out in the domestic market. We established KARAKU LABO by combining the fruit processing factory and aimed to produce 5,000 products this year. We started exporting our products to Taiwan, Hongkong and Singapore.
