Inoue Seikoen

Inoue Seikoen's steps began with one mikan sapling that the first generation planted on Shodoshima Island. Eventually taking on olive cultivation as well, the farm expanded its fields across three generations of parent and child — developing into a farm rooted in the island's climate. The very act of tilling fields and protecting and nurturing trees connects to the thought of olives — a symbol of peace and prosperity.

Olive trees are a crop that takes a long time from planting saplings to stable fruiting. At Inoue Seikoen, starting with stone-wall terraced field making, and accumulating delicate seasonal care — pruning, fruit thinning, harvesting — the farm raises healthy olives and citrus. By identifying fruits suitable for oil and harvesting them, and by performing oil pressing and processing in-house or at partner factories with attention to freshness, fragrant olive oil is born.

The ingredients raised this way transform into extra virgin olive oil and flavored oils coloring dining tables, as well as dressings, jams, and olive oil confit. The brand also develops a skincare series leveraging the power of skin-friendly olive oil — communicating the blessings of olives through both "delicious to eat" and "comfortable to use" products.

Through direct stores in Shodoshima and Takamatsu City, restaurants, and the online shop, many seasonal fruits, limited products, and seasonal gifts are also offered. Through photos and columns that convey the air of the production area, and through farm tour information, the brand continues to be one that lets people far away feel the scenery of Shodoshima and the thoughts of producers.

Three generations of olive farmers rooted in Shodoshima's nature

Starting from one mikan sapling planted in 1940, the farm has now grown into a farm cultivating about 5,000 olive trees and diverse citrus. Leveraging the mild Seto Inland climate and stone-wall terraced fields, the farm continues to protect island agriculture and scenery across generations.

Olive oil and citrus processed products coloring dining tables

From extra virgin olive oil to dressings and sauces, olive oil confit, whole-fruit jams, and more — the lineup fully draws out the appeal of olives and citrus. The brand also provides recipe proposals easy to incorporate into daily cooking.

Skincare caring for bare skin, plus direct delivery of saplings and fruits

In addition to skincare series such as cosmetic olive oil, lotion, and soap, the brand also develops separate-delivery items — olive and citrus saplings and fruits, freshly pickled olives, frozen sweets, and olive pork. A brand that delivers both the joy of growing and the pleasure of tasting.
