Visit to Hokuryu Town officials and future prospects
On the day of our visit, we received encouragement from Hokuryu Town Honorary Citizen, Mr. Ryoji Kikura, and Mayor Yasuhiro Sasaki.
Yuhei Togashi, Representative Director, Togashi Masao Shoten Limited Company (Sapporo City)
The connection that led to this store opening was made possible through SNS X. Yuhei Togashi, CEO of Togashi Masao Shoten, and Yuji Takada, Managing Director of the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative, connected through SNS X, which led to the development of the new product, "Kinako-bushi Furikake."

Furthermore, Togashi and Matsumoto are connected through X, and Togashi acted as a mediator, introducing Takada Yuji, chairman of the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative, to Matsumoto Keiichi, manager of the Daimaru Sapporo store of IMC Co., Ltd. (IMC head office in Osaka).
IMC Co., Ltd. is a group of food professionals headquartered in Osaka City. We provide total support for department stores nationwide, including Daimaru, Mitsukoshi, Seibu, Matsuzakaya, Tokyu, Takashimaya, Izutsuya, and Tsuruya, from sales agency services for Japanese and Western confectionery, prepared foods, and groceries, to store management and event planning and management.
This is truly a social media connection that is unique to the modern age.
It is said that we are living in an era of small communities of like-minded people, and here at Daimaru Sapporo, this movement is beginning to take root.
Mayor Sasaki also had a friendly conversation with Matsumoto Keiichi, manager of IMC Daimaru Sapporo store, and Togashi Yuhei of Togashi Masao Shoten Co., Ltd., and it was a moment that gave us a glimmer of hope for the future nationwide expansion of Hokuryu Town's specialty products.
Mayor Yasuhiro Sasaki of Hokuryu Town
The whole town is overjoyed at this connection.
Keiichi Matsumoto, Manager of IMC Daimaru Sapporo Store
This opportunity came about through my connection with Togashi-san through X.
Basically, we decided to use Kurosengoku soybeans because they have been well-received. We hope to expand this to include "Sunflower Rice" produced in collaboration with Hokuryu Town.
We value promoting Hokuryu Town and building relationships with neighboring towns, so we hope to connect with a wide range of cities and towns in Hokkaido through collaborative products, etc. We would appreciate your cooperation in setting up stalls at events held several times a year.
At the "Discover Hokkaido" event at the Daimaru Sapporo store, which brings together delicious and noteworthy Hokkaido ingredients, we are sending our boundless love, gratitude, and prayers to the great light that Hokuryu Town's rare Kurosengoku soybeans will shine on the future...
