What Oisix does

Oisix ra daichi Inc. is a Tokyo-headquartered, publicly listed (TSE: 3182.T) food subscription and delivery company operating since 2000. The business spans three primary consumer subscription brands (Oisix for organic and specialty food, Radish Boya for weekly seasonal vegetable boxes, and Daichi wo Mamoru Kai for sustainable food with irregular-produce rescue) and serves both individual subscribers (1.7 million+ members as of 2017) and B2B customers. Beyond D2C subscription, the company runs a mobile supermarket franchise (Tokushimaru, ~1,200 vehicles across 47 prefectures serving ~180,000 customers), a B2B nursery meal service (Sukusuku Oisix operating in Kanto and Kansai), a US plant-based meal kit subsidiary (Purple Carrot, acquired 2019), food service subsidiaries, and a food assistance platform (WeSupport Family reaching 33,012 households with 86 corporate donors).

The underlying technology stack is a microservices architecture deployed on Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) with a proprietary subscription management, ordering, and meal-kit logistics platform, supported by iOS/Android mobile applications and a third-generation OpenAPI-driven backend. Differentiated product capabilities include the Kit Oisix meal-kit system with pre-portioned ingredients, registered-dietitian recipes, and sugarcane-derived biomass packaging, plus proprietary Oisix food safety standards that exceed regulatory minimums. AI applications are limited to developer productivity tooling (dbt model generation, mobile animation automation) rather than customer-facing features.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring D2C subscriptions across the three brands, supplemented by one-time marketplace purchases, Tokushimaru mobile sales (with a +20 yen per-item handling fee), Sukusuku Oisix B2B contracts, Oisix EC Consulting, Ad Oisix, and Purple Carrot. Pricing follows a tiered delivery-fee structure by region (Mainland, Hokkaido/Shikoku/Kyushu, Okinawa), with subscription tiers providing free delivery above specified yen thresholds. Go-to-market is primarily product-led D2C subscription for consumers, with dedicated enterprise field sales for B2B childcare accounts and a franchise model for Tokushimaru.
