pollination to achieve stable strawberry production, as the world’s first commercially available farm. In line with this, an announcement was made at a press conference held in Hamamatsu City on Friday, November 8, 2024. Although strawberries are often used in Shunkado’s products, there are issues such as distribution being affected by seasonal fluctuations and the taste being inconsistent. I had a big problem. We hope that by introducing a robot pollination farm, these problems will be resolved in the future and that we will be able to provide delicious strawberry sweets to our customers throughout the year. Additionally, the farm will be located in the Hamakita Sweets Community “nicoe” (6-7-11 Somejidai, Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), allowing customers to see the operation first-hand and learn about the possibilities of new agriculture. I also feel it’s meaningful. The expected delivery date for this farm is December 20, 2024, and operation will begin in April 2025. Start harvesting.

We continue to make sweets that are particular about carefully selected ingredients and the craftsmanship of our craftspeople, including the Hamana Lake specialty “eel pie”, which was born in 1961 and has a history of over 60 years. In 2005, we opened “Eel Pie Factory” where you can tour the eel pie factory, and in 2014 we opened “Hamakita Sweets Community nicoe” with the theme of children’s “dietary education” and “vocational education.” From April 2021, we will operate SWEETS BANK, a complex facility with headquarters functions, as a new tourist attraction in Hamamatsu. And on November 8, 2024, we will open the cafe restaurant “HOW’z” created with creators from all over Japan on the third floor of Tokyu Plaza Harajuku “Harakado”, which opened in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo. We have opened. Shunkado’s management philosophy is “Creating from the past,” and while paying close attention to the craftsmanship of our craftsmen and valuing the spirit of
manufacturing, we will continue to work as a confectionery shop that never stops exploring and evolving. Company profile Company name: Shunkado Ltd.
