A Delicious Collaboration: Kamakura Pasta Partners with Maioka High School

At Totsuka Modi, located on the 7th floor, a fresh and exciting collaboration between Kamakura Pasta and the students of Maioka High School is set to delight your taste buds. This initiative showcases innovative culinary creativity from local high school students, aiming to elevate the dining experience for local community members.

What is Kamakura Pasta?

Kamakura Pasta is a well-known chain in Japan specializing in fresh pasta, boasting around 200 locations across the country. Known for its chewy, delicious texture, the restaurant offers a varied menu that includes both Japanese and Italian-style dishes. With its traditional Japanese-style seating and Kamakura engravings in the decor, Kamakura Pasta provides a serene and modern dining atmosphere, inviting guests to relax and enjoy their meals.

Community Co-Creation Initiative

This collaboration is not just about food; it's an embodiment of community engagement. Totsuka Modi has long championed initiatives that bring local stakeholders together, and the partnership with Kamakura Pasta is a perfect example. With numerous schools in the Totsuka area, the hope is to bring more enthusiasm into the community through student involvement in the culinary arts.

After half a year of planning, students from Maioka High School had the opportunity to unleash their creativity and propose new menu items for Kamakura Pasta. Ideas that broke away from traditional pasta concepts were presented, and the ultimate dish was selected through a voting process involving customers and the restaurant’s manager. This is a true collaboration that celebrates local talent and innovation.

The Star Dish: Sukiyaki-style Pasta with Bamboo Shoots and Sakura Chicken

One standout dish from this collaboration is the Sukiyaki-style Pasta with Bamboo Shoots and Sakura Chicken, priced at 1419 yen (including tax). The dish features tender bamboo shoots and high-quality domestic spinach, all dressed in a delightfully sweet and savory sukiyaki-style sauce. The inclusion of Sakura chicken, known for its tenderness and low-fat content, makes this dish not only delicious but also healthy. For an added richness, you can mix in an egg yolk to enhance the flavor further, creating a unique Japanese culinary experience.

More Creative Ideas

While not all student proposals made it to the menu, another standout concept that was in the final selection process incorporated Maioka High School's theme color, purple. This eye-catching dish, called the Maioka Carbonara, showcases the creativity and imagination of these young chefs-to-be, making it a shame that it couldn't be featured on the menu due to commercial constraints.
