Delicious school lunch operation School lunches are “living teaching materials” that help children deepen their knowledge about food and lead healthy eating habits. This year, Kitakyushu City aims to improve the appeal of school lunches and is working to further enhance menus that serve as “living teaching materials” as part of the “Delicious School Lunch Campaign”. As part of this effort, under the supervision of famous Japanese, Western, and Chinese chefs in the city, we create school lunch menus under the “Chef’s Kitakyu Three-Star Menu,” allowing children to experience authentic flavors. Children are becoming more interested in school lunches and daily meals. At this Kitakyushu Fair, we will be selling two selected items from Japanese and Chinese menus as products. Regarding the holding of the “Delicious! Kitakyushu Fair” presentation In conjunction with the Kitakyushu Fair, a presentation was held at Kitakyushu City Hall, and after a product explanation from Mr. Yoshida, Senior Merchandiser of Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd.’s Kyushu Region, Kitakyushu Mayor Takeuchi and all attendees gathered together to enjoy the “Mackerel” I sampled the rice bran rice balls and the colorful meatballs with sweet and sour sauce.
