The very idea of ​​a homeless person entering..

Q:

There is a person who appears to be a homeless person in the Central Cafeteria. He is eating food he brought in from outside, as well as instant noodles. I think that the very fact that a homeless person is entering the cafeteria is a problem in terms of hygiene and public safety. Please cooperate with the security and take measures such as calling out to the person and patrolling the area

A:

We will discuss your comments with the security staff and move forward accordingly

"Soft Cookie (Chocolate Chip)" is very delicious..

Q:

The "Soft Cookies (Chocolate Chip)" in the bread section are absolutely delicious.
I love chocolate chip cookies and always buy them when I see them, but these are the closest to my ideal so far.
The sweetness, the size of the chocolate chips, the overall texture, the aroma, and the satisfying texture are all wonderful. Plus, they have a long shelf life, so I'm happy that I can stock up on them.
The price is a little high, but the taste is well worth it.
It's a shame that the packaging is too simple and doesn't convey how delicious they are, but that's the case with all Oriental Bakery products, so I'm sure you'll understand how delicious they are once you taste them. I
would be very happy if you continue to stock them, so thank you in advance.

A:

I'm very pleased to hear that you're enjoying Oriental Bakery's "Soft Cookies (Chocolate Chip)."
Thank you very much.

We will continue to purchase from now on, so we look forward to your continued patronage!

With the summer vacation coming in, tourists..

Q:

We have signs asking non-members to refrain from using the cafeteria during peak lunch hours, but with the start of summer vacation, there seems to be an increase in tourists, and we're seeing a noticeable number of people using the cafeteria during peak hours who are clearly there for sightseeing purposes (especially foreigners).
Many of them are using the seating in groups, and they seem to be staying for relatively long periods, so we would like students to be given top priority, at least during peak hours. In the past, we've been so exhausted by the crowds that we've decided not to use the cafeteria at all.

I believe the sign currently uses Japanese and English, but could you please add Chinese?
Also, while the current color scheme is quite eye-catching, I think a more attention-grabbing color scheme would be even more effective.

A:

We feel a sense of responsibility for the resulting restrictions on the dining environment for our members due to the increase in external users. We sincerely apologize.
Currently, the cooperative is adding Chinese signage in addition to Japanese and English, and posting notices at the entrance to raise awareness, but we are still unable to improve the situation and apologize again. We will consult with the university regarding this matter and consider ways to improve it in the future. We apologize for the time it will take to make adjustments, and we appreciate your understanding.

I have questions about nutritional information..

Q:

I recently ordered curry rice, but I have a question regarding the nutritional information and would like to inquire about it.
The small portion of curry contains 23g of vegetables, but the large portion contains only 26g. Meanwhile, the salt content is 3.6g for the large portion and 4.8g for the large portion. It's strange that these two figures don't correlate at all, and I believe there's a high possibility that the labeling is incorrect. I would appreciate it if you could take a look into this.

A:

We have confirmed with a registered dietitian. The following is the information we have gathered.
The nutritional value of curry rice includes not only the curry roux and rice, but also the nutritional value and vegetable content of the fukujinzuke
(pickled vegetables). ●Small curry rice: Uses 130g of curry roux and 20g of fukujinzuke. ●Large curry rice: Uses 190g of
curry roux and 20g of fukujinzuke. The amount of fukujinzuke used in curry rice is the same regardless of size, so the vegetable content and salt content of each menu item are not proportional.

We have Sanpin tea in stock..

Q:

I'd like to see Sanpin tea (bottled) in stock. It's summer, so I want to feel Okinawa

A:

Two types of Sanpin Tea will be available for sale from early August

It's called "Imoni-jiru"..

Q:

A dish called "Imoni-jiru" (taro stew soup) is being served, but it is a pork and miso-based imitation
of imoni, and as a citizen who loves imoni, I find this extremely regrettable. Since ancient times, authentic imoni has referred to a soy sauce-based stew with beef, and miso-based pork soups resembling pork soup have been shunned as "barbarian imoni." The "Imoni-jiru" served in the school cafeteria could repeat the tragedy of the "Imoni Wars," in which barbarians repeatedly invaded the authentic version, and I believe it is a very dangerous menu item that could undermine peace.

A:

Thank you very much for your enthusiastic feedback regarding Imoni-jiru (taro stew). We have heard from the cafeteria manager, who is from Tohoku and developed the dish, that Imoni-jiru varies greatly from region to region, even within the prefecture, and that each region has a great love and dedication to its own version, making it difficult to say "this is Imoni-jiru!" This Imoni-jiru is a menu item inspired by Tohoku University, so we have recreated the Imoni (miso-based, pork) that is popular in Miyagi Prefecture, where the Tohoku University campus is located. We apologize that it is not the soy sauce-based, beef Imoni-jiru that you love. We hope you will give it a try this time, in consideration of Hellenes' generosity.
When we consider offering Imoni-jiru again at the University of Tokyo Co-op in the future, we would be happy to consider a soy sauce-based version as well.

The limited-time fried chicken is amazing..

Q:

I really liked the limited edition fried chicken that was on sale around spring this year. Are there any plans to sell it again? If so, please let me know the recipe

A:

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the fried chicken! I hope we can offer it again if the opportunity arises. (The recipe is a trade secret, so I can't share the details... I'm sorry.) We have lots of
other events planned this year, so I hope you'll enjoy the menu at the cafeteria events as well!

Why am I on Twitter every day?

Q:

Why do they post fake menus on Twitter every day? It's getting annoying. If you go there and the menu in the live kitchen is different every day, it's just not possible. It's a waste of time

A:

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the menu on Twitter. There was a data mix-up with the menu, resulting in incorrect menu information being displayed.
We have confirmed with the person in charge to ensure that the correct menu is being advertised. Thank you for pointing this out.

I got a kebab wrap..

Q:

I ordered a kebab wrap, but the staff member who made it added tap water to the hummus sauce bottle and continued using it.
I can imagine that the hummus settles at the bottom and becomes more viscous towards the end, but only the solids settle, and the concentration of the seasoning liquid shouldn't change much from the beginning to the end, so I think it's a bit too simplistic to think that diluting it with tap water will return it to its original concentration. If you
add tap water, the concentration of the solids will return to normal, but the seasoning liquid will only become weaker.
As expected, the sauce was watery, and the kebab was extremely overpowering in terms of the strong flavor of the meat... I was very disappointed, especially since the kebab wraps I had yesterday and the day before were so delicious.

For those who prepare the meals, it may be just one of hundreds or thousands of meals, but for those of us who eat it, it's a precious treat between classes, and it's that enjoyable meal that gives us the strength to keep going. I understand
you are very busy, but could you please at least do something basic like shaking the bottle properly each time before use to prevent solid food from settling at the bottom? I apologize for the inconvenience.

A:

Thank you for your feedback regarding the hummus. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
The hummus is designed to be mixed with water in a specified ratio to make hummus sauce. Upon checking, we found that it had solidified as you pointed out, which is why water was added. Although it is designed to be mixed with the specified amount of water, adding even more water will result in a watery hummus sauce, so we have instructed that a new batch of hummus sauce be used in such cases. We are
truly sorry for causing you any unpleasantness. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoy eating in the cafeteria. All of our staff will strive to live up to your expectations. We hope you will use the Central Cafeteria again.
