In response to the call for “please send us your frying pans that are stuck to the surface for testing”, we will test the frying pans sent from all over the country to deliver the excitement of baking “gyoza” with wings without failure to as many people as possible.

Award comment
Pyramid Film Quadra Producer Reiko Shitomi
This project is the result of the rich communication with customers that everyone at Ajinomoto Frozen Foods has cultivated, as well as a thorough commitment to permanently improving products. We have created a project site packed with gimmicks and information based on our desire to improve our products and deliver them to our customers. Also, through this project, I was able to realize how much “Gyoza” is loved. We will continue to work hard to become a bridge between everyone at Ajinomoto Frozen Foods and customers who love gyoza.
Pyramid Film Quadra Creative Director Tatsuya Abe
We wanted to give back to everyone who sent us 3,520 frying pans in a way that exceeded expectations. We have developed a project site where you can search and check the 3D model and data of each scanned frying pan, and publish it as information that will lead to new discoveries. We conveyed the seriousness and continuity of the project. As a result of serious research by everyone at Ajinomoto Frozen Foods, I believe that we were able to give back to our customers in the best possible way by releasing new and improved products in an astonishing 9 months from the initial tweet. .
The project will continue, so I hope to continue to develop and give back. Award results
