## About

Founded in 2016 and based in New Jersey, US, Oishii Farm Corporation, d.b.a Oishii, an agricultural technology company that operates indoor vertical farms to provide consumers with omakase berries. This artisanal variety originated from the Japanese Alps' foothills. CEO Hiroki Koga and COO Brendan Somerville co-founded the company. In May 2026, Oishii Farm Corporation raised JPY 18 billion in?series C funding led by returning investor SPARX Group, with participation from other new investors ASAHI KOGYOSHA CO.,LTD., Development Bank of Japan, Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., MISUMI Group Inc., Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Aozora Bank, Shoko Chukin Bank, Hokkoku Bank, Mizuho Bank and MUFG Bank. Returning investors JICN, Mizuho Bank and Resilience Reserve also partcipated in the round. The round was part of a larger JPY 24 billion series C and debt funding.

Oishii's farmers produce omakase berry in an artificially controlled environment that replicates the Japanese Alps' spring season. The carbon-neutral strawberries are handpicked, measured for Brix (sweetness), and delivered in a specific container as they are softer than regular strawberries. The company's farming technology enables the production of the seasonal omakase berries all year-round while maintaining the fruit's quality. The company also utilizes bees to pollinate within the vertical farms.

The company generates revenue by selling omakase berries to restaurants and consumers.

The company plans to use the May 2026 funding to expand operations in the U.S. and Japan, scale plant factory infrastructure, and support R&D and technology development for future growth.
