Inspection of Bulb fields
Lily Bulb is alive, which shows difference in quality and condition depending on the environment and production system.
We regularly visit production area of the north & South hemisphere every year and check the growing situation by hands and foots, and our survey provides the report to customers as a latest information.

With the awareness of carrying living things, we will continue bulb transport to meet your needs.
Management of growth in cold temperature
Depending on each product and time, storage temperature is different, so we mind very much.
Since the bulbs are raw and living, they do not freeze even under a minus temperature, which require high precision temperature (humidity) management by the representative bulb dedicated cooling storage.
Strictly, state of the bulb changes from moment to moment, so quality control team is looking, touching, moving and managing them.
There is a difference in storage quality, which can’t be prevented by management of leaving machines.
Shipping and Delivery
Japan with four seasons is hot in summer and cold in winter, change of temperature and humidity stress bulbs.
In order to realize long-term stable storage, we carry the product’s receipt and shipping without breaking the cold chain, by transporting whole trucks and containers to the cooling facility.
Since it is agriculture, your schedule may change depending on the weather.
As for urgent instructions, we also accept shipping and delivery by contacting the day before (business day).
Defrosting service with free shipping fee (profit!) Is also popular.
