Q:

Would it be possible for you to handle "CO-OP microwave-resistant wrap regular" again? Thank you very much.

A:

Regarding the requested "CO-OP microwave-resistant wrap regular", due to the change in the products handled by the entire university co-op, we are no longer able to receive it at the store.
Currently, Kureha Kogyo Kurewrap is available at our shop. Depending on the lot, we may be able to order wrap products from other companies other than Krewrap, so please contact us. We are unable to order the COOP you requested. We understand that you may think that this is a COOP product, but we ask for your understanding and understanding.

Q:

Is it possible for you to collect used laptop batteries?

A:

Thank you for your inquiry.
Used laptop batteries can be collected if you bring them to the store.
There are three types of batteries that can be collected: nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium-ion batteries.
Please hand it over to the staff at the PC counter.
(We do not collect visits)

Added 2025.5.27
As of the response in February 2023, JBRC partners had been able to collect some of the batteries for laptops, but due to various circumstances, we have now stopped collecting batteries alone.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please take appropriate measures depending on the disposal method designated by the university or local government.

Q:

I would like to ask you to abolish the partition in the cafeteria.
In the current situation, there is no need to take excessive infection control measures, and it is rare for outside restaurants to have partitions in the seats.
Also, in the current situation where it is possible to eat next to each other, the risk of infection with the person next to you is high.
Also, when eating, the space is limited by the partition, making it quite difficult to eat.
From the above, I would like you to remove the meaningless partition. thank you.

A:

The current situation is to eat silently when eating, and wear a mask when talking. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in the prevention of infection.

A:

I hope my message finds you well.

I have a suggestion that I would like to share with you regarding the University Dining rooms/Cafeterias.

I would like to inquire if it's possible to establish a support/donation model at the University of Tokyo dining rooms similar to that provided by “Table for Two”.
https://jp.tablefor2.org/about/

The idea is that the CO-OP can design a healthy menu from the food list provided, the menu give the option to students/professors with each meal they buy to automatically donate 10- 20 yen. for children in least developed countries facing food crisis.

The University CO-OP can establish a separate model as part of it's services or they can make collaboration with “Table for Two” or other similar organizations. This system can contribute as well to the University commitment of achieving sustainable development goals.

I suggest that if such a system was established to provide the support to this list of countries facing food crisis. This list is based on hunger map reports and UN least developed countries.
https://static.hungermapdata.org/insight-reports/latest/global-summary.pdf
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/least-developed-countries
https://unctad.org/topic/least-developed-countries/list

The countries are in order of hunger map report
– Somalia
– Afghanistan
–Niger
– Mali
– Guniea
– HaitiMore
– Burkina Faso
– South Sudan
– Syrian Arab Republic
– Sierra Leone
– Yemen
– Mauritania

If this is not the proper communication channel for this suggestion, I hope you can guide me to which e-mail address I should send my request.
I hope I can receive your kind feedback.

Q:

This is the University of Tokyo Co-op. Sorry for the delay in replying.
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Actually, I don't know if you are aware of this, but we are holding a “TABLE FOR TWO” event at the cafeteria of the University of Tokyo.

Q:

Although I wrote that the deep-fried food was thick, I was given a temporary answer as to which menu's batter was thick, and I could not get a concrete answer, so I will list the corresponding menu below.
Fried food menu with thick batter: Boiled cutlet, deep-fried horse mackerel, miso cutlet, fried oysters (live kitchen), mixed fried seafood (live kitchen), etc.
Probably chicken Tatsuta-don, fried chicken, fried chicken such as fried chicken, and the thickness of the cutlet batter in salted katsu-don and fillet cutlet curry is acceptable, but other fried foods that are the main dish I feel that the robe of is very thick compared to them. No matter what menu I ate, the batter was thick, so I submitted such a word card. I don't want to improve it, but I don't think I'll eat it in the future.

A:

Thank you for telling me the details of the word card I received before, "The batter of deep-fried food is thick." Again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Many of the ingredients we currently use are also used by other university co-op cafeterias. It's up to you.
Regarding the ingredients that you have taught me this time, I will make a statement at an appropriate meeting about ``the two points that I received an opinion that the batter is thick and a request for improvement''. Immediate improvements are difficult, but we would appreciate it if you could wait for a while.

Q:

You can see some people putting their luggage in the aisle between the tables.
Not only students, but also outsiders and faculty and staff members.
If you put your luggage in the narrow aisle, you may feel unsafe when walking with a tray, so I would appreciate it if you could instruct me not to put my luggage in the aisle.
Thank you very much.

A:

Thank you for your valuable opinion.
We will share information with the cashier and implement countermeasures.
We will create guides and patrol halls to provide guidance to users.

We look forward to your continued use.

Q:

Will Yutas-kun's goods not be sold?
If there is a stuffed toy key chain, I will definitely buy it.

A:

Utus-kun goods,
The only items we handle are the academic calendars issued by the Komaba Tomo no Kai that include Utus-kun. (Currently, sales at stores have ended due to limited time sales. Please refer to the website of Komaba Tomonokai)
Since it is an undergraduate character, it has not been commercialized by the Co-op.

Q:

Make sure your knife is sharp. Please make it at least jagged. It's hard to eat chicken and it can't be helped! There may be reasons such as safety considerations and to prevent damage to the plate, but if you don't leave a useless knife that can't be called a knife, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces from the beginning and serve it. Please remove the knife cleanly. thank you.

A:

We apologize for the inconvenience. We plan to update cutlery including knives. It takes time to change.

Q:

I want a half size of brown rice omelet rice. Also, it would be nice to have warm green tea for the second meal.

A:

・Regarding brown rice omelet rice, we are currently only offering one size because if we set various sizes for the cooking process, we will have to wait considerably longer than the current cooking time. We are very sorry that we could not meet your request for half size right away.
・Thank you for your request regarding the tea on the 2nd floor. On the 2nd floor, there is no tea dispenser with piping like the 1st floor, and the staff is currently refilling the drink dispenser with water each time, so we will only provide water. I'm here. We are looking for a possible method with the equipment on the 2nd floor, so please wait for a while.

Q:

Salad bars that are served during certain hours are weighed by the scales installed at the cash register. I had doubts that such an object was placed. Does that mean that the object has the same weight as a plate? If so, you would have to place the object on the scale, zero the scale, then remove the object from the scale and weigh it.
Please answer what the object is intended to be placed.

A:

I am very sorry for the lack of notation here regarding the inquiry.
The scale for the salad bar at the cash register is set by subtracting the weight of 3 dishes so that it can measure up to 3 dishes at the same time from the viewpoint of cash register operation. Therefore, when using 1 or 2 plates, we will measure the weight of the plate. I am very sorry that this explanation is not enough. I have added an explanation to the scale at the cash register as shown in the attached photo. Thank you for your continued support.
