A Sweet Collaboration in 2026
In an exciting partnership, Mitsui DM Sugar Co., Ltd. and Hakata Salt Co., Ltd. have announced the launch of the 'Suitable Salt and Sugar Campaign 2026.' This initiative, which kicks off on January 11, 2026, also known as 'Salt Day,' aims to celebrate the essential balance of salt and sugar in our diets, encouraging everyone to enjoy their meals with the right seasonings.
The Essence of the Campaign
Since its inception in 2022, the 'Suitable Salt and Sugar Campaign' has revolutionized the way consumers view their dietary choices. With a mission to enhance everyday dining experiences through suitable amounts of salt and sugar, this campaign has grown since it was first introduced, reaching its fifth edition this year. The campaign aligns significant dates in culinary culture, notably 'Salt Day' on January 11 and 'Sugar Day' on March 10, to inspire and engage the community through their official social media platforms.
This year's festivities promise delightful rewards, specifically designed to resonate with fans of both brands. Participants have the chance to win an exclusive plush charm that captures the essence of both Mitchui DM’s iconic Spoon-Print and Bara-Print sugars alongside Hakata Salt’s beloved products. The charm is the perfect addition to any bag, embodying the spirit of culinary enjoyment.
