Isetan Mitsukoshi's private brand, BPQC, will be holding "Autumn Living with BPQC" at Ginza Mitsukoshi from September 19th to 25th. Workshops and talk shows will also be held during the event.

The theme of this event is "living in harmony with nature," and the event will introduce tips for living a more beautiful, smart, and comfortable autumn lifestyle in three areas: "dressing up," "living," and "arranging." The collection features original clothing and accessories that embody BPQC's "comfort" philosophy, along with tools and food inspired by the richness of nature and people, as well as natural cosmetics.

Living  
-Lifestyle Tools and Foods-

Introducing the warm and inviting tools and foods of Ukiha City, a popular "water town" where people live off spring water, and Itoshima, a town garnering attention as a home for craft artists. We also offer suggestions for a lifestyle that connects you to nature, including the sale of herb seedlings and soil shipped directly from the Yatsugatake Mountains.


Ukiha Mountain Tea is grown on terraced rice fields in the deep mountains, blessed with a rich natural environment. The soil is first cultivated, and the tea is fertilized with bokashi fertilizer, a process in which organic fertilizer is fermented with microorganisms. This enhances the sweetness and umami of the tea, resulting in safe, secure, and high-quality tea leaves.


"Ukiha no Yamacha" is a brand of tea produced by Shinkawa Tea.
