Efforts in Revitalising Local Communities Within East Japan
“As part of our efforts to revitalise local communities, JR East Group opened a food processing factory in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture in September 2014. Our baking line produces pound cakes using ingredients from the eastern region of Japan for the Shinkansen Gran Class, as well as vegan rice flour cookies.
