Kure Fair Highlights

This authentic curry is certified for its quality by naval experts, allowing customers to enjoy a taste of tradition right in their neighborhood. The fair will introduce four special local dishes representing Kure's unique culinary heritage, each aimed at leaving a lasting impression on all who taste them.
A portion of the proceeds from this fair will be donated to support children in Kure City, specifically benefiting local child welfare or developmental support facilities. By contributing to the growth of the next generation, Seven-Eleven Japan aims to play a vital role in the community's future.
