Japan Creative Centre (JCC)

An island located in Seto Inland Sea, Shodoshima is known as the birth place of olive cultivation in Japan. Besides olive plantation, the island also produces other delicious products such as soy sauce, tsukudani and somen. Shodoshima is also rich in nature, and is home to the Kankakei Gorge, which is one of Japan's three most spectacular gorges and is especially breath-taking in autumn.

Join us at Japan Creative Centre (JCC), Embassy of Japan, to find out more about Shodoshima's history, nature and specialty products. In particular, you will be introduced to the benefits of olive, including olive skincare. Moreover, you will be able to sample the island's specialty products.

About the Speaker

In 2003, Mr Kosuke Otsubo studied about olive plantation and olive oil extraction from a Spanish olive oil producer. Upon returning to Japan in 2004, he moved to Shodoshima where he engaged in olive plantation, olive oil extraction, food processing, as well as quality management in Inoue Seikoen.

Inoue Seikoen scored a total of 88 points in the prestigious olive oil guidebook FLOS OLEI, the highest score in Japan.
