Kitazawa Seed Company

GreenThumbGal_07 · March 10, 2007

I just wanted to mention this nice Oakland, California-based seed company which specializes in Asian vegetable seeds. It is a source for Momotaro, Odoriko, and Sun Gold hybrid tomato seeds. In my experience the quality and germination rate have been excellent.

Nice selection of long beans too. "Red Noodle" looks interesting. Wish I had seen this before ordering "Kaohsiung" and "White Seed" from another vendor. So many seeds, so little space...

My family has dealt with Kitazawa for years and I still get many of the Asian seeds from them. I have not dealt with them over the internet, but, their product has always been first rate.

If you have a phone number for this company you might give them a call and let them know their website is down. Just went to the site on your recommendation since we are looking for some Asian seeds only to find that no matter what link you click you get the same one page. No catalog, no number, no contact info.

I used to grow a lot of Asian vegetables/fruits and the two companies I dealt with, primarily, were Kitazawa and Sunrise Enterprises. And I thought both were terrific.

At that time Kitazawa sent out HUGE amounts of seed/variety in pretty much plain brown paper packs while Sunrise was addicted to sending out their seed, also a lot, in plastic type bags with a picture of the mature whatever slipped inside.

Sunrise always had a website but Kitazawa never did when I was buying so much seed from both of them lo those many years ago.

So thumbs up for both based on my many years of buying seed from both.
