About the Wakayama Ichibanboshi Award

 

Wakayama is home to many attractive local products that are still not widely known across Japan. />
Careful selection of ingredients, traditional techniques passed down over generations, />
and the sincere passion of the producers.
We want to shine a brighter light on these exceptional products.
That idea gave birth to the “Wakayama Ichibanboshi Award”
Through this award, outstanding products made in Wakayama Prefecture such as processed foods, crafts, and lifestyle goods are carefully selected and certified.
The evaluation is based on three key criteria:
“A story that resonates,” “unique dedication and craftsmanship,” and “future potential.”


Certified products that display the official logo as Wakayama’s “Special Selections”
will be introduced through the official website, social media, and events
so that as many people as possible can discover them.

Sharing great products with care.
Passing the spirit of craftsmanship to the next generation.
The Wakayama Ichibanboshi Award is an initiative to deliver the charm and pride of Wakayama
to the rest of Japan and to the world.

Let us introduce you to Wakayama’s brightest stars.
