Komaba and Komaba II
"Komaba Original Lunch Box" created through public recruitment by union members goes on sale
Created together with Komaba union membersKomaba Original BentoIn May 2023, we solicited original recipes from the Komaba Purchasing Department, Komaba Cafeteria, and on Twitter, and received a total of 33 submissions! Thank you to everyone who applied!
Original bento tasting event
A tasting event for the original bento boxes was held on June 16th, and was attended by 22 members. At the event, the cafeteria staff actually created bento recipes based on four menu items selected by the purchasing department and cafeteria department. Based on the submitted menu items, they recreated them in a bento style that could be made in the cafeteria, and then sampled them
We listened to the thoughts that each menu creator put into their recipe, and then judged the dishes by tasting them and taking into account their taste, appearance, price, and volume. We also had a tasting and exchange session where we listened to their thoughts and opinions on the purchasing department and cafeteria
