The “Soybean Meat Project” (Sponsored by Snap Dish Co., Ltd.) was launched with the desire to incorporate the fourth meat, “soybean meat,” into dishes in a delicious and fun way and enrich the options on the dining table.
To commemorate “Good Meat Day” on November 29th (Wednesday), we held a one-day cooking class for elementary school students at “Shibuya Center Gai Children’s Shokudo.”
Since its inception, the Soybean Meat Project, which is comprised of 6 manufacturers 2 organizations chefs (Note 1) that lead the soybean meat market, has held a 4th event on Good Meat Day (November 29th). We are holding events to spread the word about meat. This year, we will be holding dietary education and eating experiences using soy meat, which is attracting attention as a sustainable food, for the children who will be responsible for the future.
On the day of the event, soy food researcher Saori Ikegami and student staff members from the Shibuya Ward SDGs Association gave a lecture on the appeal of soy meat to children from the surrounding area who gathered at the “Shibuya Center Street Children’s Shokudo.”

After the lecture, we tried making one plate using soybean meat. Each dish, such as the “soy meat hamburger,” has been handcrafted with an original arrangement of soy meat, taking into consideration the nutritional balance.

The Shibuya Ward SDGs Association, which has the theme “From child to child” and creates a “place of connection” and “learning” about SDGs in Shibuya, aims to be a “third place for children” and creates opportunities to learn about food loss. We have been holding the “Shibuya Center Street Children’s Cafeteria” on a monthly basis since June 2022 with the aim of creating a diverse community.
In addition, recently, in collaboration with the Shibuya Ward Social Welfare Council, it has become a place for isolated seniors and a place where multiple generations can gather.
The event is being held at the community space “Sponge” in Shibuya Center Gai, with the concept of “a place created by young people where everyone absorbs each other.”
The Shibuya Ward SDGs Association will continue to hold “Shibuya Center Street Children’s Cafeteria” on a regular basis.
Together with businesses and citizens, we will provide opportunities for children to communicate about the environment and food loss issues.
