Whatever fruit is at its peak that week, from a grower and region we know. We check sugar and condition, take only what is ready to eat, and pack it with care.
We judge by vitality rather than uniformity. Each week an experienced buyer looks over what has come in and keeps only what deserves a place on your table.
Swordfish braised in a sauce of vine-ripened tomato, black olive and caper. Simply reheat, and you have the depth of a Mediterranean trattoria. An ordinary evening becomes something worth sitting down for. (Photograph shows one serving.)
This rice shows its character once it has cooled. Twelve consecutive years of awards — eleven of them gold — at the international competition often called the rice World Cup. In a packed lunch, the sweetness and the way each grain yields tell you where it came from.
A yolk firm enough to lift with chopsticks — rich, yet clean on the finish. Six eggs from the mere 2% of Japan’s laying hens kept free-range. One spoonful over rice tells you everything.
No seasoning required. Salt and heat alone give you crisp skin and clear juices. This is what birds raised without stress, in mountain houses above the clouds, taste like.

Food that gladdens
body and mind.
Grown with care in healthy soil, by producers who farm from conviction. Seafood from clean waters; a table free of additives and GMOs. Since 1988 we have chosen only real food — and handed it over in person.
We are not widely known.
Those who can taste the difference
have stayed with us for years.

Does any of this sound familiar?
If even one applies, our table is likely to be of use to you.
You want what you eat every day to be something you can trust, for the years ahead.
You find the flavour and freshness of everyday produce lacking.
Carrying the shopping has become hard work. We bring it to your door, so rice and drinks never have to be carried again.
On tired evenings you would rather not cook. A dinner developed by an Italian chef, ten minutes in hot water and it is on the table. No effort, no compromise.
You are tired of breaking down cardboard every week, and of the waste. Handed over in person — nothing to flatten or throw away.
You have found other delivery services unwilling to accommodate small requests. Ours will do what they reasonably can, personally.
What Chikyu-jin Club
has always protected.

No tilling, no animal manure. Fallen leaves and cut grass alone build the soft, living soil of this certified organic farm. “Farming is making soil,” says Umemoto — and you taste it.
Umemoto Farm — Osamu Umemoto
Perching, dust-bathing, laying in nest boxes — open housing that lets hens behave as hens. Genuinely free-range eggs are still rare in Japan; these come to you under strict farm hygiene.
Natura Farm Co., Ltd.
Ristorante Al Ponte has been a Nihonbashi institution for years. Its chef-owner, Koji Hara, known for exacting technique, developed the swordfish dish in this introductory set.
Koji Hara, Chef-Owner
Raised free-range in open houses in the hills of the Yoshino river valley in Tokushima, on clean air and spring water. No antibiotics or antibacterials at any stage. The result is meat with no off-notes — rich, savoury and clean on the palate.
Ishii Foods Co., Ltd.
Not for special occasions,
but for ordinary days.
Little done to it, the ingredient itself on the plate —
a plain dish that is quietly very good.
Only the best of that day.
The introductory set is only the doorway. From vegetables to seasonings, everything is chosen with the same care.
※ Items change with the season.
Never tied to a fixed box.
Choose item by item.
You are never obliged to accept a fixed box. From more than 3,000 items, take only what you want, in the amount you need. Choose freely, to suit your own table.
A New Year table for members only, overseen by the chef-owner of Al Ponte in Nihonbashi. From antipasti to main courses, vivid Italian dishes arranged in traditional lacquered tiers. Alongside seasonal produce and the trial set, we also prepare occasions like this.

What enters my cells
is where I refuse to compromise.
Tomomi Tsutsui
Screenwriter and author
I would not call myself extravagant, but when it comes to what enters my cells, I refuse to compromise. What we see, hear, smell, touch — and what we eat. Eating engages all five senses at once, which is why it matters so much. I have been a member of Chikyu-jin Club for more than thirty years. Everything they carry was made by someone, somewhere, with real care. They have become a partner I can genuinely rely on.

I raised my daughter on this food —
and that is barely an exaggeration.
After my daughter was born, the daily shopping was the hardest part — especially tracking down the one tofu I trusted. Then a flyer arrived, and there it was in the photograph of their trial set. Eighteen years later, the discoveries keep coming and food has become far more enjoyable. Every producer they work with is a craftsperson, particular about ingredients and method. The taste is reliable, and so is the peace of mind.
Honestly, it is not cheap. For most households it is a luxury. But everything begins with eating. A little of something good — that is the spirit in which I intend to keep ordering.

MEMBER · 18 YEARSHaving the heavy things delivered
is a real help.
I joined on the recommendation of a friend I trust. In an age of questions about food safety, knowing you can relax about what you eat comes first. Their work is patient and dependable, and over the years it has taught me what food ought to be. There is always a reason behind a low price — efficiency should not govern what we eat. Anything that passes through their filter, I can serve without hesitation.
Life is busy, so having heavy groceries brought to the door is a real help. If I am out they leave it at the entrance, and deliveries can be paused while I travel. Week after week, the people who deliver prove themselves honest and dependable. There are more prepared dishes now too, and they are good enough that I order them often.
I am not young any more, yet people still compliment my skin. I use no expensive cosmetics and have never been to a salon. The body is built from what we eat, so I suspect it is simply the result of years of eating this way.

The same person,
every week.
Your delivery does not come from a courier. The same member of our team who looks after your neighbourhood brings it to your door each week. “This vegetable is especially good this week” — that kind of conversation is part of what we deliver.
No more cardboard
to throw away.
Handed to you from an insulated case. However often food arrives, there is nothing to flatten or discard.
Heavy items carried to your door; deliveries paused while you travel. Because it is the same person each week, you can leave it with them even when you are out.
Every delivery travels in our own refrigerated vans, temperature-controlled from farm to table. Summer or winter, it arrives as good as it was bought.
Where things grow, how to cook them in season, how to keep them well. Our team keeps teaching one another so we can do the job better. Each of us wants to be a guide, not just a driver.
Very few delivery services handle fresh fish at all. Ours buy wild-caught fish by eye and bring sashimi-grade cuts straight to you. The conversation that comes with it is closer to a good fishmonger than a delivery van.
Out at work, or called away at short notice? Just say the word and we pack everything into an insulated box and leave it at your entrance, waiting quietly until you are home.
A thank-you gift
for new members.

Our own natural vitamin C supplement: 1,000 mg of vitamin C with liposomal VC, supporting everyday wellbeing from within. Thirty sachets — easy to keep up.
