About Inoue Seikoen
Inoue Seikoen
A farmhouse that has been in operation for 80 years in Shodoshima
The beginning of Inoue Seikoen was a mandarin orange sapling planted by the first generation Inoue Taijiji in 1940. The thoughts of our predecessors are now the 5,000 olive and citrus trees that bear fruit in our garden.
Olive trees were planted in the garden in 1946. Olives are a representative product of Shodoshima, thanks to the warm climate of the Seto Inland Sea with little rain and well-drained soil.
The second generation, Katsuyoshi, learned how to process olive fruits and soon began making and selling oil.
The citrus and olive trees that bear fruit in our garden today are the result of the efforts and hard work of the first seedlings planted with longing and our predecessors.

Olive oil starts with good olives
The quality of olive oil depends on the olive fruit.
To harvest good fruit, keep the trees healthy. To keep your trees healthy, create healthy soil. Agriculture, at the end of the day, is just like this.
The history of Japanese olives began in 1908.
Experimental cultivation was carried out in three prefectures to produce olive oil, but it took root only in Shodoshima. This is said to be due to the warm climate of the Seto Inland Sea with little rain and the well-drained soil.
However, well-drained slopes are not suitable for efficient work with machines. The mowing and pruning are done carefully by hand, and in the fall, the crops are harvested grain by grain.
The fresh olive oil made in that way really has a rich aroma and delicious taste.
