The Awards

The "Fabex Side Dish and Bento Grand Prix" is one of the largest product contests in the side dish and bento industry in Japan. Each year, it welcomes more than a thousand entries from various regions, with winners selected based on the expertise of appointed judges, who evaluate the taste, presentation, and overall quality of the products.

The award-winning bibimbap stands out due to its ability to deliver the rich flavors of traditional Korean cooking, requiring only heating and mixing for enjoyment.
