Local Business – Local Ingredients

Tomi's Shortbread House is dedicated to sourcing the best quality ingredients for all of their products, and as far as possible they use local, fair trade or organic goods. The flour is from Kyushu (apart from that used in special, seasonal products such as hot cross buns which require a different type of strong flour), rice flour is sourced from a local farmer and most of the spice, nuts and dried fruit are organic. Sugar is organic (from Brazil) and the Muscovado sugar is fair trade from the island of Negros in the Philippines. Tomi's Shortbread House uses eggs and cream from Kyushu, and milk from Shisui in Kikuchi. Butter comes from one of three locations depending on availability – Miyazaki, Jersey butter from Oguni, Kumamoto and occasionally from Hokkaido – Tomi's Shortbread House always uses pure butter in their baked goods – they never use margarine or shortening. The sea salt is of a special variety from Amakusa which is made in unique way, and they use gourmet, Valrhona chocolate from France and People Tree Fair Trade Chocolate from Swizerland. Finally, the fresh fruits which are used for seasonal products are sourced directly from local farmers, and sometimes from farmers in the north of Japan which has a climate better suited to fruits such as apples and pears.
