Dried vegetable brand 「OYAOYA」
OYAOYA is a dried vegetable brand that makes use of non-standard vegetables that don’t reach the market for reasons of shape or size. In cooperation with contract farmers centered on northern Kyoto, we run the business aiming for food loss reduction and the future of agriculture. We also post recipes for dried vegetables.
A matching media that connects food OEM manufacturers across the country with companies and brands that have something they “want to make.” We carefully select and list factory information that meets fine manufacturing needs such as small-lot support and special processing. We also publish original content such as interview articles.
A corporate benefit service where 100% domestic-vegetable dried vegetables are kept stocked in the office, and you can easily top up nutrition just by adding them to cup noodles or soup. By upcycling non-standard vegetables, it achieves employees’ health management, farmer support, and food loss reduction all at once. We also publish original content such as adoption case studies.
A specialty brand that delivers stories and food experiences, centered on dried pears made by drying Kyoto-grown “Nijisseiki” pears at low temperature without sugar. While valuing the fruit’s original flavor, we also provide content that stays close to daily life through a web magazine and recipe information.
A food media that combines Japanese seasonal vegetables with the wisdom of yakuzen to bring “eating to balance yourself” into daily life. We share recipes and ingredient guides suited to constitution and season in an easy-to-understand way, proposing food-based self-care that can be practiced without specialized yakuzen knowledge and supporting self-care habits.
The dried vegetables we manufacture in-house use non-standard-friendly vegetables sourced from partner farmers in Kyoto. Because the growing region and processing site are close by, we work to process them while they are fresh.

Giving value to non-standard vegetables with nowhere to go.
Just as delicious, yet rejected from the market solely for uneven appearance or shape. We felt an issue in the way such non-standard vegetables have nowhere to go. The crops that farmers raise with great devotion each have their own value. We want to properly convey that value and build a system that can circulate it. Agriture’s sustainability began from that thought.
By giving new roles to non-standard and unused agricultural products, we aim to reduce food loss and contribute to the future of agriculture. Using technologies such as low-temperature drying to make the most of the ingredients’ taste and nutrition, we don’t let it end at “what a waste”—we transform them into products of value. Reconnecting the circulation of Japanese farming and food in a sustainable form. That is the sustainable challenge Agriture takes on.
