Shinjuku Station hosts Shinkin Local Market for regional products

The Shinkin Local Market is being held at JR Shinjuku Station as part of the Lumine Agri Marche. This event aims to create direct sales opportunities by connecting regional businesses, which are clients of credit unions, with consumers in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

The market features a variety of artisanal products, including handmade breads, specialty cookies such as miso-flavored dark crunch cookies from Gunma, long-aged meats like ham and bacon produced without additives, and seasonal fruit sandwiches. The initiative is part of the Lumine Agri Project, which seeks to connect urban dwellers with agriculture to promote food diversity and health.
