Community Engagement Event in Noto

On June 21, 2026, a remarkable community engagement event was held at Patoria in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture, designed to aid in the recovery efforts following the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The event, titled BISTRO ななほし ~Let's Watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 Together!~, saw approximately 200 participants, including local children who are members of nearby soccer clubs.

The organizers, Central Daily Co., part of the DAC Group, in collaboration with DAC Future Support Cultural Organization, recognized the need for community members to gather, share stories, and enjoy each other's company as they heal from past traumas. Given the enthusiasm surrounding the FIFA World Cup, they decided to host a public viewing event of the match between Japan and Tunisia while serving delicious food from local vendors.

Event Highlights

The day's menu featured exclusive dishes crafted by notable chefs, including a special Oven-Baked Japanese Beef Sandwich and a choice of two soups - Chilled Corn Soup and Crustacean Bisque. These dishes were curated by Chef Naoki Nagai from the restaurant Aperçu and complemented by wines from NIKI Hills Winery, showcasing the rich flavors of the region.

In addition to the culinary delights, several DAC Group partners and client companies also joined in the social investment spirit, providing gifts and prizes for children's games and quizzes, making the event even more special. This collaborative effort not only aimed to delight the guests but also to strengthen community ties through collective joy.

Participants gathered enthusiastically, cheering for Japan as the match progressed. The atmosphere in Patoria was electrifying, and with Japan clinching a stunning 4-0 victory, the venue erupted into celebration, creating an unforgettable sense of unity and shared excitement.
