Discovering 'Wa Oh!! SANDWICH' at Expo 2025
Kenko Mayo Co., Ltd. has recently launched a special recipe page on their corporate website dedicated to the 'Wa Oh!! SANDWICH.' This exciting initiative is set to debut at the Eatery Pavilion 'Utage,' located at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, taking place from August 18 to 24. The name 'Wa Oh!! SANDWICH' was chosen through an internal voting process, reflecting the vibrant and appealing nature of these innovative sandwiches that blend traditional Japanese ingredients with the concept of a sandwich.
A New Approach to Sandwiches
The 'Wa Oh!! SANDWICH' offers a fresh perspective on the conventional sandwich experience. By infusing classic Japanese delicacies into this popular format, Kenko Mayo aims to introduce a new enjoyment of Japanese cuisine both domestically and internationally. The company is particularly focused on creating a borderless taste experience, inviting participants from around the world to explore these unique flavors.
One of the highlights during the Expo will be the 'Salad Cooking Class,' where participants can transform their ordinary sandwiches into spectacular salad dishes. This hands-on experience promises to make salad preparations more accessible and enjoyable, encouraging everyone to appreciate the delightful flavors that Japanese cuisine has to offer.
Exciting Cooking Classes
Throughout the event, the 'Salad Cooking Class' will include 5 to 6 sessions daily, each accommodating 8 to 10 groups of participants. Each session, lasting approximately 60 minutes, will provide an overview of the products and business as well as the opportunity for hands-on experience with homemade mayonnaise and sandwich preparation.
Participants will have the chance to create their own sandwiches using 'Kinpira Gobou'—a traditional Japanese burdock root dish. Additional recipes featuring popular Japanese side dishes like 'Unohana' and 'Pumpkin Soboro' will also be available on the special page, showcasing four different variations that can be made with these essential ingredients.
Kenko Mayo is dedicated to elevating Japanese food culture while creating new values through innovative salad recipes. As part of the event, all participants will receive original merchandise made exclusively for the 2025 World Expo.
Limited-Time Events
In conjunction with the event, Kenko Mayo will also recognize 'Dressing Day' on August 24, distributing limited quantities of their dressing samples to attendees. This initiative is aimed at raising awareness of this special day and delighting participants with flavorful additions to their dishes.
