Introduction
Oisix, a leading provider of food subscription services in Japan, has unveiled its newly revamped meal kit, dubbed 'Choraku Kit.' Released on October 16, 2025, the upgraded kit has already demonstrated remarkable success. In just one week, sales soared to nearly three times the average prior to the renewal, confirming the growing demand for convenience in meal preparation.
Embracing Convenience
In response to rising return-to-office trends, Oisix has enhanced its menu offerings to suit customers' increasing desire for quick and easy meals. The ‘Choraku Kit’ is designed to take only 10 minutes to prepare, requiring no knives or cutting boards. By simplifying cooking processes, Oisix aims to assist busy families in tackling their dinner preparations efficiently.
Customer testimonials highlight the value of the new kit: "On weekdays, knowing I have the super easy kit brings me comfort. I don’t need to stop for groceries, and I can make dinner while the rice cooks. Even if I work late, my kids can prepare dinner themselves. It’s really easy!"
New Offerings
Starting November 6, Oisix will introduce a new family-sized option with meals serving four people. This new category is priced competitively at just ¥594 per serving (tax included). The recent upgrade not only caters to the time scarcity faced by families but also addresses the challenges posed by rising food costs.
Time-Saving Potential
The ‘Choraku Kit’ includes over ten weekly menu options that can be prepared in ten minutes or less. Oisix has pledged to expand this lineup to over 100 unique meal offerings by the end of the year. These options require minimal cooking utensils, ensuring swift cleanup, thereby promoting a hassle-free cooking experience further.
Addressing Real Needs
Oisix’s research illustrates a growing gap between the ideal cooking time for weekday dinners and the reality that many families face. Customers are increasingly seeking time-efficient solutions that alleviate the stress and fatigue of dinner prep after a long day. The survey feedback indicates a pressing need for straightforward recipes and meal planning support.
Families desire quick dinner solutions to allow for more leisure time while managing household budgets. The trend toward prioritizing time-saving meals is clearly reflected in their preferences.
