We often hear the term SDGs. It is such a big topic that, to be honest, it seems like something from a distant country. However, the number of people who actually reach out to the SDGs is still limited, and we want to make the barriers between the two more flat and casual," says Mr. Shimamoto, manager of the company.
When he opened his own restaurant, he was inspired by the existence of "substandard vegetables" that could not be distributed because their color and shape did not conform to standards. As one who is involved in the food and beverage industry, I have a responsibility to think about what I can do in my current environment," he says.

ELOVE

ELOVE" is a restaurant complex that gives form to this idea. The vegetables, including out-of-spec vegetables purchased from contract farmers in Kyoto, are served through three channels: "Ikou," a restaurant that offers vegetables in their own expression, "Fureru," a vegetable sales corner where customers can directly pick up the vegetables, and "Totonou," a delicatessen that can be enjoyed at home.

ELOVE

We hope that by conveying the appeal of food and the thoughts of the producers, people will enjoy "choosing" vegetables filled with love," he says. The restaurant offers a wide range of dishes from lunch to dinner.
