Summer Cooking Made Easy with Oisix

As the sweltering summer heat takes hold, Oisix Inc., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is stepping up to help with its delightful 'Choraku Summer Festival.' Running weekly for seven consecutive weeks starting July 9, the festival features innovative cooking solutions that require no cutting boards or knives, making cooking both quick and enjoyable.

From July 23, Oisix unveils new summer-inspired dishes designed to keep you cool and satisfied during the hottest days. One exciting offering is 'Drizzle-Style Fried Eggplant with Grated Daikon Sauce (with Ginger),' a delicious and refreshing option to enjoy even on scorching hot days.

Addressing Summer Cooking Challenges

According to Japan’s Meteorological Agency, Gifu Prefecture experienced its first 'extreme heat day' on July 21, with temperatures soaring above 40°C (104°F). During such intense heat, people often face a double dilemma: the desire to stay home and avoid outdoor errands while also needing to prepare meals. In response, Oisix offers alternatives that are not only quick to prepare but feature cool and no-cook options suitable for summer.
