Reducing Food Waste: Shakunaga Shoten Partners with Trinico in Fujisawa City

In a groundbreaking move aimed at addressing the pressing issue of food waste, Shakunaga Shoten, a popular delicatessen in Fujisawa City, has registered with Trinico, an innovative app developed by the LLC Quagga. This collaboration marks the 51st shop to join the Trinico platform, which focuses on reducing food waste by connecting local consumers with surplus food available at participating stores.

About Trinico

Trinico acts as a bridge between shops and consumers in the Shonan area—including Fujisawa, Chigasaki, Hiratsuka, Kamakura, Zushi, Yokosuka, and Miura. The app enables users to purchase food items that shops could not sell for various reasons, allowing these products to circulate within the local community rather than ending up as waste. By doing so, Trinico not only offers delicious food at affordable prices but also promotes environmentally friendly choices among consumers.

Shakunaga Shoten's Offerings

Located in a convenient area in Fujisawa, Shakunaga Shoten prides itself on using diverse ingredients to create a wide array of mouthwatering dishes. Customers can savor the rich flavors of chicken liver sautéed in a sweet and spicy sauce, juicy homemade char siu, a comforting pumpkin soboro stew, refreshing potato salad, classic Neapolitan pasta, and quiche bursting with the essence of vegetables. The store encourages everyone to find their favorite dish among its offerings, many of which are now listed on the Trinico app.
