This year's Isetan Mitsukoshi Ochugen gift campaign is based on the theme of "connecting," and offers gifts that connect people with different generations and regions. We've also prepared a number of products that embody Isetan Mitsukoshi's vision of sustainability. Our online store features videos showcasing products made with rice grown using "stork-raising farming methods," products born from "recycling agriculture," and products that utilize resources to the fullest.
