This service was launched out of a desire to solve the problems of my family’s mandarin orange farm and save the local area. Efforts to increase product value by improving distribution formats and connecting farmers and consumers in a subscription-based manner are highly feasible. The tasting experience, which allows you to experience the wide variety of citrus fruits grown in the region, is unique, novel, and interesting. The inclusion of picture postcards, which give a sense of the connection to Edo, is also unique and extends beyond mail-order sales of specialty products. It provides an opportunity for tourists to visit Arita to enjoy the appeal of the 82 types of citrus fruits produced in Arita and the taste of the mandarin oranges it offers, and we look forward to future developments. ◆What are social products?
