Ceramics manufacturer NIKKO Company (Headquarters: Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture; President: Akiko Mitani; hereinafter NIKKO) has launched a new brand "BONEARTH FOOD MARKET" using vegetables grown with "BONEARTH®", a fertilizer born from discarded tableware. The brand will sell "Vegetable Craft Ice Cream to Taste the Earth" on its online store starting Thursday, April 9, 2026.
## What is BONEARTH FOOD MARKET?
It is a food brand that gives shape to a cycle starting from tableware. NIKKO conducts integrated production from raw material processing to the final process at its own factory in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is one of the few ceramics manufacturers in Japan that handles all processes in-house while having a large-scale manufacturing capacity. "NIKKO FINE BONE CHINA" combines the thinness and whiteness supported by top chefs with the strength used in hotels and restaurants. Behind its beauty is the philosophy of utilizing life without waste. In the natural world, life returns to the soil and nurtures the next life. We wondered if ceramics could also be returned to that cycle. Tricalcium phosphate contained in "NIKKO FINE BONE CHINA," which is made from cow bones (bone ash) that have finished their role as food, is one of the important components of fertilizer. Focusing on this characteristic, we reborn ceramics into fertilizer, the recycled fertilizer "BONEARTH®".
Instead of adding new resources heavily, the properties originally possessed by the tableware are directly passed on to the next life. Farmers across the country who sympathize with the thoughts of BONEARTH use this fertilizer to carefully grow vegetables. And the brand that delivers food born from those ingredients is "BONEARTH FOOD MARKET".
"Tableware -> Fertilizer -> Soil -> Crops -> Dining table -> Tableware". Within this cycle, we will propose a new form of food.

Valuing the utilization of the original umami of vegetables as they are, it is carefully finished with simple ingredients without using emulsifiers, stabilizers, colorings, or artificial flavors. In addition, ingredients are utilized without waste by incorporating irregular-shaped out-of-spec vegetables. We hope that even if you are a little bad with vegetables, you can eat them if they are in ice cream. To create such an opportunity, milk's gentleness...
