Introducing 'KITCHEN Chef & Doctor'

On September 1, 2025, Kuradashi, a social good company known for its market innovation, unveils its latest venture, 'KITCHEN Chef & Doctor' (KITCHEN C&D). Drawing on the expertise gained from the previously acquired 'Dr. Tsurukame Kitchen,' the new brand aims to provide convenient, tasty, and health-conscious meal solutions tailored for busy individuals, particularly those aged 30 to 40.

Background and Vision

Kuradashi presents a mission to eliminate food waste and become Japan's leading company in social impact. Over its journey, it has successfully offered approximately 2.6 million meals through the Dr. Tsurukame Kitchen service, which primarily catered to seniors and individuals requiring medically prescribed diets with restrictions on salt, protein, and carbohydrates.

A recent health awareness survey by CCC MK Holdings indicated that 76.4% of people aged 30 to 50 are mindful of their health. Yet challenges like cost (42.8%) and lack of time (30.1%) hinder their efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, there has been a rising incidence of illnesses, including cancer and cardiovascular issues, among this demographic, highlighting the urgent need for preventive measures.

With this in mind, Kuradashi has launched KITCHEN C&D to address these concerns, transitioning from post-illness dietary support to pre-emptive health-focused meal options. The brand's goal is to assist in the daily dietary habits of health-conscious consumers, allowing them to practice prevention easily and deliciously.

Product Offering

KITCHEN C&D is designed to be both nutritious and enjoyable, with meals that are doctor-approved and chef-curated, embodying the slogan 'Convenient, Delicious, and Healthy.' For a reasonable price of ¥842 per meal, customers can select dishes tailored to their health needs—be it reducing sugar, sodium, or protein intake. The service offers flexibility in meal frequency and quantity, making it a suitable choice for users with varying lifestyles.

• - Price Points: Starting at ¥5,897 (excluding tax and delivery)

Preparing Delicious and Healthy Meals

Kuradashi ensures that every dish provided by KITCHEN C&D has undergone rigorous tasty checks by their development team, who focus on both flavor and health. Collaborating with nutritionists and physicians, the meals aim to satisfy customers' culinary desires without compromising on health.

Safety and Convenience

All meals are prepared in domestic facilities with strict hygiene standards to ensure safety. By utilizing rapid freezing techniques post-preparation, the brand guarantees freshness, flavor, and nutritional value. Customers need only heat their meals in a microwave for a full dining experience.

The Kuradashi Market

Kuradashi also operates a social good marketplace, offering consumers the chance to purchase goods that might otherwise go to waste. Part of the proceeds support various social initiatives including environmental protection and disaster relief, furthering the company's commitment to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

In conclusion, Kuradashi continues its journey toward improving food solutions that integrate health, convenience, and sustainability, fostering a society that prioritizes well-being through enjoyable eating experiences.
