This initiative is a vital part of Fukui's efforts to showcase the depth of its culinary heritage and food culture through collaboration with LDH Japan. The Fukui City Agricultural Policy Division is responsible for overseeing this campaign and ensuring success in attracting food enthusiasts and promoting local produce.

In March 2021, Kenchii Tachibana, a member of the popular group EXILE/EXILE THE SECOND, was appointed as Fukui City's Food PR Ambassador to further promote the local food scene. He has significantly contributed to this mission through various initiatives, including supervising menu creations at LDH-owned restaurants.

As part of the Regional Revitalization Partnership Agreement signed in March 2023 with LDH Japan, the city continues to explore diverse areas of collaboration, including commerce, tourism, education, and culture, to generate more interest and attractions around Fukui and its unique offerings.
