In YE 45, with the expansion of the Yamatai Star Empire into other sectors, like the Kosuke Sector, the desire of citizens to have access to fresh and familiar foods was brought to the attention of the management at Komorebi Foods. They set out to design a retail store that would feature Yamataian Foods and put some of the Tsu Region's bounty on the retail market. Komorebi Foods secured a fleet of forty-five Shuryoku-Class Super Freighter which would be escorted by Yugumo Merchant Spacy vessels to deliver food to their new locations. They chose the name Tokyo Fresh Markets as a homage to the city of Tokyo. The first store opened on Kumo no Kagayaki Station in YE 45.8.¹⁾ Other stores across the Yamatai Star Empire are set to open through the rest of YE 45 and YE 46.
