Message from the Organizer

In this new year, we are committed to enhancing our efforts to bring smiles to even more faces! January featured our inaugural soy-based mackerel curry, which was well-received. The beloved Mochiko chicken sold out quickly, with many children expressing their delight. Additionally, we distributed retort-pouch meals from Tasumi, which garnered positive feedback from attendees, emphasizing its importance in our community.

Looking ahead into 2026, Kizuna Shokudo will continue to prioritize the happiness of children and strive to serve as a reliable venue that meets community needs while nourishing both the hearts and stomachs of our local youth.
