## About

Founded in 2019 and based in Niigata, Japan, Rakuraku Co., Ltd., also known as Lala Corporation, produces and sells fermented mushroom beds and processed mushroom products. In June 2024, LALA CORPORATION raised JPY 120 million in seed funding from Genesia Ventures and ANOBAKA. As of 2024, the company is led by its representative director, Hiromi Komaba.

The company offers a fermentation bed technology that specializes in cultivating a type of oyster mushroom called Lala Hiratake. The technology eliminates the need for pesticides or additives and promotes recycling in agriculture. The firm’s Lala Hiratake mushrooms, which are grown by farmers across Japan using RakuRaku's fermentation beds, are high in dietary fiber. After harvesting the mushrooms, the fermentation beds are composted and used in organic farming throughout the country.

The company plans to use the funds raised in June 2024 for rebranding to promote its diversified business model, addressing global social issues through licensing and overseas product development.
