marugohan

The spirit of giving back is deeply rooted in Japanese culture. This short video introduces this concept as it comes to life in marugohan.

Our goal is to create a “food lifeline” and “food safety-net” throughout the country.

We are shaping a new environment in which anyone can access the food they need in their own community.
marugohan - a new style of market!

Marugohan is a new style of market where people receive food not by paying money, but by doing good deeds. We launched marugohan in November 2019 to provide a more comfortable and user-friendly pantry service for those in need of food support.
