Social Good
At Monosus, we create products and services across various fields, including web, food, and agriculture. Through crafting experiences that are both innovative and deeply connected to people, we continuously explore our relationship with society.
Food Hub Project
The Food Hub Project was established through a joint initiative involving the Kamiyama Town Office, Kamiyama TSUNAGU Corporation, and Monosus, aiming to connect the region's agriculture and food culture to future generations. Going beyond mere agriculture and food service, the project collaborates with related companies to address a wide range of local community issues, including solving regional agricultural challenges, preserving food culture, creating employment, promoting relocation, revitalizing communities, and providing next-generation education.

KINOKO SOCIAL CLUB is a space in the heart of Tokyo where we 'grow, eat, and learn' about mushrooms, utilizing coffee grounds, a common form of organic waste in urban areas. It's a community space where we collectively explore urban food systems and circular economies through the lens of mushrooms. We aim to shift cities from consumption hubs to production sites, creating a mechanism that contributes to urban community building through the power of food, alongside residents and workers in Kiyosumi Shirakawa.

NPO Machi no Shokuno Kyoiku ('Community Food and Agriculture Education') was founded with the desire to normalize environments where children can learn through hands-on experiences with soil, growing their own food, and enjoying everyday meals. The initiative was launched by Asuka Higuchi, a founding member of the Food Hub Project and a dedicated food education advocate. Centered around elementary, middle, and high schools in Kamiyama, Tokushima Prefecture, the organization extends its activities by hosting forums and training programs for those involved in food and agriculture education.

To restore the delicate balance of the earth, what kind of ingredients should we grow and how should we cook them? CIMI Restorant is an endeavor to explore these questions and share them with everyone. CIMI (地味) means "simple" or "plain" in Japanese. We can also expand its meaning, such as the taste that reminds us of the local landscape and the nourishing taste that soothes our bodies. As we deepen our connection with the producers who take good care of our garden, we will feel the wind, the rain, the seasons, and deliver the deliciousness that CIMI believes in.
