Q. What is the JAS organic mark?
A. The mark for organic agricultural products certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Granted to agricultural products that have been grown without using chemical fertilizers or pesticides for three years or more. In principle, JAS certification is required to display "organic".
Q. Recommended natural food stores
A. The major ones are Seijo Ishii, Queen's Isetan, and Natural Lawson. Specialty stores are Natural House, Crayon House, and Bio Marche. Online groups such as Daichi wo Mamoru Kai and Radish Boya are popular.
Q. The price of organic products
A. It is generally 30-100% higher than normal. However, with regular deliveries of organic vegetables (delivered once a week), you can sometimes get them at prices comparable to Gyomu supermarket products. The trick is to continue purchasing.
Q. How to find vegan products
A. Labeled as “vegan,” “plant-based,” or “plant-based.” Confirmed that it does not contain meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or honey. Guaranteed to have a vegan certification mark. Also check out the "V-mark".
Q. Gluten-free products are also available in Japan.
A. There is a surprising variety of Japanese food ingredients such as rice flour products, rice noodles, and konnyaku noodles. Imported gluten-free foods are available at Costco, Seijo Ishii, and imported food stores.
