Aquaponi Begins Selling Vegetables from its Circular Aquaponics Farm in Toranomon

Aquaponi Co., Ltd. (Location: Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Kengo Hamada), as a new initiative to integrate the circular agriculture "aquaponics" into the urban food environment, will begin selling aquaponics-grown vegetables from April 15, 2026, at "AQUAMO salad," a salad bowl specialty store operated by the company in Toranomon, Tokyo.

The vegetables are grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and are delivered directly to the store from our own farm, "Fujisawa Aquaponi Village," in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Arrivals are scheduled for every Wednesday.

Producer-Operated Salad Bowl Specialty Store Sells Whole Vegetables They've Grown

Aquaponics is a circular farming method that combines hydroponics and aquaculture. Fish, plants, and microorganisms interact, circulating water and nutrients to enable cultivation without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Compared to soil-based farming, it secures about 7 times the yield per area and reduces water usage by about 80%. This production model, learned from the mechanisms of ecosystems, is attracting attention as a resource-efficient, sustainable agriculture.

Our company opened AQUAMO salad in March 2026 with the aim of creating a "food cycle where production and consumption are not disconnected." The Toranomon/Shinbashi area, where the store is located, has many office workers, making it an environment easy to stop by during lunch breaks or after work. By having the producer, our company, directly operate the store, we can directly convey the production methods and environmental value, creating opportunities for consumers living in urban areas to incorporate healthy and safe food into their daily lives.
