Savor Seasonal Delights in Aichi, Gifu, and Mie

Starting November 4, 2023, 7-Eleven Japan is excited to unveil five new exclusive dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients in the Aichi, Gifu, and Mie prefectures. This initiative is part of a national fair dubbed the "Delicious Food Championship," which aims to celebrate regional specialties while promoting local food culture across Japan.

Unique Offerings Inspired by Local Ingredients

The new menu highlights exquisite flavors derived from high-quality, regional ingredients. Enthusiasts of local cuisine will have the opportunity to indulge in selections such as:

• - Charcoal Grilled Pork Rice Bowl: Made from Aichi-raised Mochi Pork, known for its unique chewy texture.
• - Whipped Matcha Latte Pudding: A dessert crafted with matcha sourced from Nishio City, Aichi, paired with a delightful milk pudding.

These products emphasize the culinary excellence of the region and showcase the passion put into their creation by local producers.

Bringing Farms to the Table

From November 4 to November 17, the "Delicious Food Championship" will feature eleven distinctive regional fairs across Japan, each showcasing unique culinary creations. Among these, Aichi, Gifu, and Mie will highlight exceptional local ingredients. The theme of this campaign is "Regional Producer-Consumer Connection," ensuring that each dish not only satisfies but also supports local economies.

7-Eleven strives for a sustainable food system, engaging actively in "shisanka" (local production for local consumption) and tackles community issues. The initiative aims to help consumers connect with the stories behind their food, turning every meal into an opportunity to support local farmers and contribute to the community.
