Ginza Tomato Co., Ltd., which plans, develops, manufactures, and sells cosmetics and health foods under the concept of "40 years in a drop. A drop that travels through 35 countries," will air a special program for its functional food product "Slim Eight" on the TV shopping channel "QVC" on Thursday, May 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The broadcast will feature CEO Chieko Katsumi, who holds the record for being the first to achieve 100 million yen in sales in a single day in Japanese QVC history. Making her first appearance in a year, she will directly convey the latest beauty and health habits that address concerns regarding "abdominal fat" and "walking ability" that tend to increase with age.
The company has been dedicated to the research and development of rare natural materials based on its philosophy of "Beautiful and healthy. Joy for people around the world." CEO Katsumi, drawing on her experience as a chair of an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, was inspired to "bring back the radiance of mothers" and developed a collagen product from locally sourced shark fin in Fukushima. This product became an explosive hit through television shopping and sparked a collagen boom across Japan.
"Slim Eight," being introduced on QVC, is the result of years of raw material research. Since its launch in October 2025, it has received significant acclaim as a functional food product that addresses the "greedy" concerns of adults who "want to reduce abdominal fat but also protect the health of their legs and lower back for the future." Katsumi's appearance, her first in a year, serves as a special opportunity to not only introduce the product but also to personally share her challenges since turning sixty and the importance of "building a body that can move beautifully" based on scientific evidence.

- Multilateral approach to abdominal fat and weight: Formulated with rare "Chaka Saponin." It supports the reduction of body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, body weight, and waist circumference in those prone to obesity, aiding in the improvement of high BMI.
- Maintaining "walking ability" in middle and old age: Polymethoxyflavone derived from black ginger acts on the leg muscles that decline with age. It supports the maintenance of walking ability for middle-aged and older people, encouraging active days.
