Background of Sponsorship
Ginger Lab and its parent company, Spice Factory Inc., emphasize the importance of contributing to their local community, continuously engaging in initiatives that promote community interaction and solve social issues. On the same day, they will also participate in various events like the hands-on disaster prevention event "FUJI-Q Disaster FESTA 2026" in Fujiyoshida city, Yamanashi Prefecture, and the community revitalization event "Otsuitachi Market x NOTONOWiLD 2026" in Hakusan city, Ishikawa Prefecture, showcasing KIBOU CURRY through tastings and exhibits.
KIBOU CURRY aims to redefine disaster preparedness by not just serving as food reserves for emergencies but also contributing to community welfare through the reduction of food loss and food assistance. It is designed to promote the rolling stock model of emergency preparedness, encouraging people to integrate disaster readiness into their daily choices. The Harumi Sunset Cinema event will serve as a platform for residents to gather, enjoying films and meals while engaging in meaningful discussions about nature, societal issues, and the importance of sustainability.
Building Community Resilience
Disaster preparedness extends beyond merely storing goods. Establishing connections and rapport within the community is vital for enhancing disaster resilience on both family and community levels. Cultivating relationships and connections during peaceful times can lead to mutual support during emergencies. Thus, Harumi Sunset Cinema serves not just as an entertainment medium but as an opportunity for community bonding and fostering disaster resilience in a natural and engaging manner.
About KIBOU CURRY
The product KIBOU CURRY embodies a sustainable rolling stock model, redistributing food before its expiration to children’s cafeterias and welfare facilities, ensuring that partners contribute to disaster readiness while actively supporting local food banks. This model helps businesses and municipalities establish disaster preparedness strategies while also addressing food waste issues and supporting the regional economy.
KIBOU CURRY received notable recognition and was awarded the "20th Kids Design Award" in the Safety and Security Enhancement sector, supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Cabinet Office, due to its commitment to creating a socially responsible and allergy-conscious product.
In conclusion, the Harumi Sunset Cinema will not only provide a delightful experience for movie lovers but will also highlight the importance of community cohesion, sustainability, and the role of responsible products like KIBOU CURRY in enhancing societal resilience against future challenges.
