ITADAKIMASU is how we express our thanks for the food we eat every day.

It is also an expression of appreciation toward receiving the gifts of life.

ITADAKIMASU empowers us and puts a smile on our face.

A word with great importance, it helps us to feel assured that life will go on.

Farmers and agricultural cooperatives have pride in contributing every day to ITADAKIMASU.

Because the future of farming is closely tied with the future of our food, we are working toward a future where ITADAKIMASU will continue to be voiced.

Learning about Japanese food and farming will inspire thoughts about ITADAKIMASU, and our appreciation for food.

Here in this exhibition area, we bring the link between food and farming to life. You can experience through seeing, touching, and tasting, the value and potential of agriculture.

Discover what's behind ITADAKIMASU: how grateful the Japanese are for being assured there is food on the table, and the richness of Japanese lifestyles colored by locally produced agricultural and livestock products.
