Let's cultivate delicious food!

Sliced and dried vegetables,
a traditional Japanese preserved food.

By slowly drying vegetables at a temperature similar to sun-drying, not only are their umami and nutrients concentrated, but it also becomes possible to bring out hidden charms of the vegetables that fresh produce could not reveal.

OYAOYA is a dried vegetable brand that proposes "a new delicacy from the field" by taking fresh vegetables sourced from farmers in the northern Kyoto Prefecture area and transforming them into a dry form that offers unique flavors.

Collaboration with Kyoto farmers

In the northern Kyoto Prefecture area, there are many agricultural professionals who are dedicated to growing vegetables, from sustainable soil preparation using local materials to meticulous cultivation methods.

Under their care, even common household vegetables, not just high-end Kyoto vegetables favored by traditional restaurants, achieve an incredible deliciousness.

The appeal of slicing and drying

When vegetables are sliced and dried, the farmers' dedication is packed into the umami, and at the same time, the joy of rediscovering the charm of vegetables in a new form emerges.

For example, cucumber. Its crisp, juicy, and refreshing flavor transforms into an astonishing deliciousness, where sweet umami overflows with each chew! Depending on the variety, carrots can develop a rich, herb-like aroma or become as sweet as dried fruit.

Vegetables slowly dried, just like sun-drying, are truly "a new delicacy from the field," offering an unprecedented deliciousness. 

Since preserved foods have a long shelf life, there's no need to worry about freshness. Even seasonal vegetables with limited availability can be enjoyed for a long time as dried vegetables.

Furthermore, OYAOYA's dried vegetables contain no glucose or other additives, so they are full of the natural umami of the vegetables. Another appeal is that they can be used to make vegetable broth that makes everyday cooking even more delicious.

From staples to Kyoto vegetables

The lineup of dried vegetables ranges from familiar vegetables such as onions, cucumbers, spinach, and long onions, to carrots that are fun to compare by variety, and Kyoto vegetables like Manganji peppers and Shogoin daikon radish.

Depending on the season, you can also experience premium, exceptionally sweet vegetables that have garnered media attention, such as Kyoto Tanba radishes [Kyo-komari] and Kumihama [Yarisugi Tomatoes], as "a new delicacy from the field."
