Mitake Foods' Heartwarming Contribution to Children’s Cafes

Mitake Foods, based in Toda City, Saitama, is committed to social responsibility, dedicating a portion of their sales from their official e-commerce site to community contributions. One such initiative took place in August 2025, where the company donated food supplies to children's cafes across the Kanto region.

Children's cafes have become essential, not just for providing meals but also as safe community spaces for children. As summertime brings a pause to school lunches, these cafes play a pivotal role in ensuring that children receive nutritious meals. Recognizing this need, Mitake Foods reached out to local children's cafes in Saitama, offering valuable support to these vital community resources.

The donation was coordinated through the certified NPO Musubie, which supports various children's cafes across Japan. The selection process involved identifying regional networks that provide intermediary support for children’s cafes. This meticulous approach ensured that the donated items reached those most in need.

Donation Details

• - Saitama Children’s Cafe Network (Saitama City): 250 bags of domestic rice pancake mix (400g each), providing 1250 meals.
• - Kodaira City Children's Cafe Network (Kodaira City): 250 bags of domestic rice pancake mix (400g each), providing another 1250 meals.

One of the highlights of the donation was the joy seen on the faces of children receiving the pancake mix. The rice pancake, made from high-quality rice flour, is not only nutritious but also designed to be safe for children with wheat allergies. With rich iron and calcium content, these pancakes were created to deliver a tasty and healthy option for all kids, ensuring they could enjoy delightful meals without any concerns.

Nutritional Benefits of Rice Pancakes

The rice pancakes are versatile and nutritious, allowing for various delicious creations beyond just pancakes. They can be used as an ingredient in many dishes, encouraging kids to engage with their food creatively.

The joy these pancakes have brought to children was evident, as they immersed themselves in the delightful experience of cooking and enjoying their meals. Mitake Foods aims to foster happiness through food, creating environments where all children can share in the pleasure of meals together.

At the heart of Mitake Foods’ mission is their corporate philosophy: "Contributing to a rich food culture."
