I wish there was more rice in the negitoro donburi..

Q:

I wish they'd increase the amount of rice in the negitoro donburi.
It only cost 700 yen, but I'm still hungry! As a poor student used to a small portion of side dish and three bites of rice, I'd be happy even if they reduced the amount of negitoro a little. Please consider it!

A:

The ratio of ingredients to rice will be decided at the store. We offer a "large size" Negitoro Donburi with extra rice. We hope you will also try this

There are small flies in the central cafeteria..

Q:

There have been a lot of small flies at Hongo Central Restaurant recently

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We will thoroughly check and implement pest control measures so that our customers can dine in peace

Set up a camera and monitor..

Q:

It's inconvenient not knowing how empty the tables are on the second floor when you want to eat after paying at the register. I'd like you to install cameras and monitors.
Also, it's inconvenient because the flow of people gets mixed up when you go to the dressing corner before going upstairs. Please add a dressing corner to the right after the register.

A:

We will review your feedback with our staff.
Thank you very much for your valuable comments.

When I ate the black pepper stir-fried vegetables set meal..

Q:

On October 16th, while eating a stir-fried vegetable set meal with black pepper at the Komaba 2nd floor cafeteria, I found a triangular piece of plastic, about 2-3 cm on each side, mixed in with the food. It is likely that it was a bag containing some of the ingredients.
This time, the foreign object was relatively large, so I noticed it before eating, but if it had been smaller, I might have gone unnoticed and eaten it, potentially causing health problems. I
am well aware that it is difficult to completely prevent foreign objects from getting into the food by human eyes, but when a foreign object of that size is found, I cannot help but question your hygiene management system. I demand that you once again thoroughly implement hygiene management.

A:

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We have shared this information with our staff and will once again thoroughly check the cooking and plating process to ensure this does not happen again

I think the TOEIC IP exam was held in 2022..

Q:

I believe the TOEIC IP exam was scheduled to be held in 2022, but is there a possibility that it will be held this year? It would be much more cost-effective than the general exam and would be helpful to many people, so I would be very happy if it could be held

A:

The TOEIC IP exam is held every year in September, with an in-person exam and an online exam in March. This year's September exam has already concluded, and the next one is scheduled for March. When it is held, information will be posted on the Global Education Center Kashiwa Branch website. Last year, information about the March exam began around mid-December, so if you are in the area, please check the latest information from the Global Education Center Kashiwa Branch

The business hours section of the Co-op app has become very difficult to read..

Q:

The business hours section of the Co-op app has become very difficult to see (it's inconvenient that you have to slide to see it, and the slides and buttons are unresponsive). I would appreciate it if you could return it to the original format so that the list can be seen. Thank you for your consideration

A:

Thank you for pointing out the issue with the app's display of business hours.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
We will request improvements to the display of business hours from our systems department.

There were about 10 people who seemed to be families..

Q:

At around 11:50, a group of about 10 passengers, who appeared to be families, were seen repeatedly yelling, "We've already taken these seats, so don't sit down without permission."

I understood that he was probably claiming that people were reserving seats,
and he was yelling at those who were already seated, so I was worried that it might escalate into a conflict.

Recently, even during peak hours, there seem to be many outside visitors, and many people are reserving seats.
I think it's impossible to completely prevent seat reservation, but it seems difficult to take some kind of measure, at least during peak hours.

A:

Thank you for always using Chuo Shokudo. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by people reserving seats. We were aware of the issue and had made calls to prohibit people from reserving seats, but we were unable to prevent it in time. We are currently further strengthening our measures, posting notices prohibiting people from reserving seats and further strengthening calls to prohibit people from reserving seats
