ABOUT

"Let's plant flowers here where there is a fine view. Let's make it so children can come on field trips and go mandarin picking, too.

So that they can take home flowers and mandarins as souvenirs."

Around the time Minamata disease was widely publicized, Fukuda Farm began by clearing the mountain forests stretching across the Yunoko plateau, driven by the heartfelt wish of the previous generation's mother, Miha.

FEATURE STORY

Wine

The winery offers a wide variety of products, from Fukuda Farm's original amanatsu citrus sangria to seasonal limited releases. Their refreshing, easy-drinking style is especially popular even with people who do not usually drink much alcohol.

Restaurant

Fukuda Farm was created from a wish to make a place where everyone, from children to older visitors, could relax while looking out over the sea.

With that vision, the forested site was cleared by hand beginning in 1960.

Today the grounds include citrus orchards, a rare juicing and processing facility, and a restaurant serving local produce, bringing the delicious bounty of Kyushu and the Shiranui area to the table through a “Farm to Table” approach.

Bakery

A neighborhood bakery and café using ingredients from the local area. One of its signature products is amanatsu bread made with citrus peel, a favorite with many regular customers. The shop also sells citrus soft-serve ice cream and tea, along with handmade goods created by local craftspeople.
