Celebrating Anniversaries with the Thanks Festival

Mark your calendars! On September 8, 2026, A RESTAURANT FOODS (ARF), an online store specializing in high-quality food ingredients, celebrates its first anniversary, while TAKE PACK, an online store providing sustainable takeaway packaging solutions, turns six. To commemorate this milestone, both platforms will kick off a festive event dubbed the Thanks Festival.

This event will take place from September 8 at 10:00 AM to September 18 at 10:00 AM, showcasing several exciting promotions and partnerships aimed at celebrating local producers and fostering a community around food.

Highlights of the Thanks Festival

Collaboration with Food Creator Shun

One of the festival's key attractions is a collaboration with popular food creator Shun (@shun_foodcreator), renowned for showcasing delicious recipes using seasonal ingredients on social media. During the festival, Shun will present unique dishes made from ARF's high-quality ingredients. A special anniversary set featuring Tendo Beef and handmade Burrata cheese from Kamakura will be available for purchase online. To sweeten the deal, the first 10 purchasers will receive complimentary apple juice made from Nagano apples.

Supporting Local Producers in Kumamoto

As part of the festival's mission to support local farmers, ARF will offer a limited supply of grass-fed beef from Daruma Pasture Farm in Kumamoto. A portion of the proceeds from these sales will be donated to the Kumamoto Earthquake Relief Fund, highlighting the festival's commitment to giving back to the community while sharing the rich flavors of Kumamoto.

Anniversary Sales and Discounts

To express gratitude to its customers, ARF and TAKE PACK will host an anniversary sale, offering a generous 15% discount on select products. ARF's range includes meats, seafood, cheeses, and processed items sourced from various local producers. Simultaneously, TAKE PACK will provide discounts on packaging solutions that aid in takeaway and delivery services, making it an ideal opportunity to shop sustainably and efficiently.

Real-life Experiences at Local Restaurants

The Thanks Festival is also branching out into local dining establishments, where chefs will create special menus featuring ARF ingredients. Local culinary talents will collaborate to introduce dishes that elevate ARF's offerings:

• - Chef Tetsu Wachi from Mardi Gras in Ginza will utilize Hokkaido deer mince to create delightful dishes.
• - At Eme in Musashi-Koyama, Chef Yasumitsu Muto will craft recipes incorporating anago (conger eel) from Tsushima, Nagasaki, and Yamagata's chorizo sausages.
• - Eriko Kishimoto, a private chef, will showcase recipes using ARF’s fresh cheeses.
• - Wineshop Lulu and Wine and Coffee A will present cheese-pairing menus featuring products from Adonai, a cheese workshop from Okoppe Town, Hokkaido.

This festival is the perfect opportunity for food enthusiasts to explore new culinary experiences while connecting with local producers, chefs, and makers.

Looking Back and Moving Forward

Since its inception, A RESTAURANT FOODS has strived to promote the best in local ingredients by working alongside producers, chefs, and food creators, inspiring a vibrant food culture. TAKE PACK, established in 2020, has also played a crucial role in supporting restaurants' packaging needs through sustainable design.

As we come together to celebrate at the Thanks Festival, it will be a journey of rediscovery—of ingredients, dishes, and stories behind them. We invite all food lovers to celebrate with us and discover the rich tapestry of flavors and culinary art that both A RESTAURANT FOODS and TAKE PACK represent.
