How it began
J-Catalyst's viewFrom a bond between Miyagi and Hiroshima.
J-Catalyst's work began with recovery support after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Linking one region with another remains its central purpose.
Hiroshima was among the regions that did most to help Miyagi recover. It is well known that Miyagi's oyster farms, devastated by the tsunami, received support from Hiroshima, a fellow oyster-growing region.
We wanted to carry that bond forward through food. As a bridge born of the recovery, J-Catalyst is working to bring Hiroshima's Setoda lemons to Tokyo, to Tōhoku and to the world.
