Sea Vegetable Company

Sea Vegetable was founded in 2016 with a vision of creating a business in aquaculture that actively incorporates local communities, empowering people within these communities to support their local environment. The business model we currently employ was at the time the world’s first to successfully cultivate seaweed on land using underground seawater. The foundation of our company begins by extracting seeds of mother algae from various coastal regions of Japan. We then carefully nurture them through infancy to eventually cultivate them using mineral-rich underground seawater in our land-based farming facilities. We have also since developed techniques in environmentally-friendly open-sea cultivation, where we collaborate with local fishermen all over Japan.
