This space, established by representative Kato Yuko, regularly hosts workshops and classes, as well as providing services to relieve daily fatigue.

Ripple Herbal Moxibustion started in 2023, and from 2026, Kato's unique herbal blend will be used. Care that aligns with your health and goals can be received.

At HAKKO STAND, we manufacture and sell kombucha, a fermented drink. Kombucha is not a tea made with kelp.
It is a drink that is slowly fermented by adding acetic acid bacteria and yeast to tea, and it is gaining attention as a daily health habit.
In addition to kombucha, we also have enzyme drinks and amazake.

To continue body care after returning home and to ensure that families can enjoy it as well, we also sell herb-based bath additives.

Ripple Farm

The activities extend beyond the store.
A "Ripple Farm" has been established in Soja City, where since 2025, a pesticide-free and chemical fertilizer-free field has been operated with friends. In the future, we are working to ensure that herbs used for bath additives can also be harvested from the farm.

At the core of these diverse initiatives is a consistent desire to "make visitors feel energized" and "deliver time for self-healing."
