I love the brown rice omelet rice on the second floor, and before COVID-19, I ate it all the time. I was so happy to see it back around the New Year holidays

I am currently a fourth-year student and will soon be graduating, so if possible, I would like to eat it again before I graduate. Could you please consider bringing it back within the school year? Thank you very much

A:

Thank you for posting this

Also, thank you for using our brown rice omelet rice, which was back for about a month and a half from the end of November to January 7th

During January, we will be temporarily closed to serve omelet rice for the Toro-ri Fair and to bring back brown rice katsudon

We will make arrangements so that it can be revived for a limited time sometime between February and March. (Probably March...)

Once the date has been decided, we will announce it on Twitter etc., so please check it out

Q:

There seems to be a big discrepancy between the salt content of Akamon Ramen on the menu and the receipt. Please confirm which is correct.
(Also, I would like you to consider displaying the salt content on the menu near the entrance.)

A:

Thank you for pointing that out

I have confirmed it

The salt content of Akamon Ramen is 3.8g, so the 6.8g displayed on the digital signage is incorrect. We will correct this immediately

Also, the nutritional value including salt content is displayed on the digital signage near the entrance

Request the manager

Please note that it may be technically difficult to display or it may take time for the changes to be reflected

We appreciate your understanding

We look forward to seeing you again

Q:

The boiled okra had nothing on it and wasn't salty. It wasn't boiled okra at all

A:

I am very sorry

Usually, we add soba soup to our "Okra Blanche" and serve it as a blanched dish

This time, during the process of adding the soba soup, the okra that was not added was served as is in the serving lane

We will share this matter with all our staff and strive to prevent it from recurring

If you have any questions, please use this contact form

Q:

A friend of mine was in trouble because she didn't have any sanitary products on hand. I've never seen them stocked in the purchasing department like in a regular convenience store (though maybe they do)

Although some people may be reluctant to make a big deal out of this, it would be preferable for female students at least to have it available on campus when they need it. I would like you to consider installing it in the store or restrooms

A:

These are sanitary products, and are available in the general merchandise section of the store

It is located at the bottom right of the shelf where paper cups and other items are stored. We apologize for the difficult to find location

There are also vending machines in the restrooms at Komaba Library, so please check them out as well

If you have any questions while using the store, please feel free to ask our staff. We will be happy to assist you

We have received similar feedback regarding sanitary products on several occasions, so we will consider reviewing their placement to ensure that they are properly provided to those who need them. We appreciate your continued support

We apologize for any inconvenience caused

We appreciate your continued use of the Co-op

Q:

They are currently calling for silent eating, but this is not being observed at all in the Komaba cafeteria. I would like to ask for people who are shouting or making noise in the cafeteria to be warned. It may be acceptable to keep your voice down and have an occasional conversation, but if people are making noise so loud that it becomes annoying, I think it will ruin all the infection prevention measures that have been put in place. I would like to ask for people to speak to them and warn them

A:

Thank you for your feedback. Currently, Komaba Cafeteria makes announcements to ask for your cooperation in eating in silence. We also regularly remind people to speak out loud, but we will be strengthening our patrols and calls to others so that everyone can use the cafeteria with peace of mind

Please come visit us again. We look forward to seeing you again

Q:

Are there any restaurants currently where you can bring your own lunch?

A:

Thank you for your inquiry

Currently, in the Hongo area, it is okay to bring your own lunch to the Central Cafeteria and the Faculty of Agriculture Cafeteria

Please use it as a place to eat, study or for community

We would be very happy if you would also use our miso soup (32 yen) in your lunch box

Q:

I am writing to ask if you have an application form etc. available as I would like to hire students from your school to work part-time as private tutors in mathematics for their university entrance exams

A:

Regarding your request for a tutor or introduction,

Unfortunately, our co-op does not carry this item

I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help

From what I know, the University of Tokyo's College of Arts and Sciences has a system for introducing private tutors

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it has been temporarily suspended since April 2020

Q:

I would like the Co-op to handle group applications for the TOEIC public test. IP tests are not recognized as official scores, so I would like to see group applications for the public test. The price is rising every year, which is troubling me

A:

Currently, the University of Tokyo Co-op has suspended group applications for the TOEIC public test

The reason for this is that even with a group application, whether you can take the exam is determined by lottery, just like with an individual application, and although the exam fee is collected at the time of application, if you are not selected, you will need to come back to the store for a refund, which is an inconvenience to our customers. The exam fee remains the same at 7,810 yen even with a group application

So, can I apply as an individual?

Thank you for your understanding

Q:

I wish they would sell stickers. They are commonly sold at universities overseas. I want to put some on my suitcase

A:

Since last year, the use of marked products has decreased significantly due to restrictions on entry to the campus

Depending on the number of pieces produced at one time and the price, it may be difficult to sell them immediately

We would like to consider this positively

Q：

It has been some time since commercial whaling resumed, but there are still few opportunities to eat whale meat, so I would be happy if the restaurant could serve dishes using whale meat. Thank you

A:

The Co-op cafeteria does not currently sell whale meat

We are very sorry, but we are currently unable to develop menu items using whale meat

If there is an opportunity to handle your order in the future, we will consider it. We look forward to serving you again
