Global Kitchen Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo), which operates the meal service for elderly care facilities "Magonote Kitchen," is selling its seasonal limited event meal using grilled eel for this year's Midsummer Day of the Ox on July 26, 2026 (Sun).

Approximately 20,000 servings are planned to be provided this year. The service has been used annually by many elderly care facilities as an event meal for the Day of the Ox, delivering a mealtime that allows residents to feel the changing seasons.

Background

For residents living in elderly care facilities, meals are a daily source of enjoyment and an important time to experience the changing seasons. Facilities strive to add color to residents' lives by providing meals tailored to seasonal events such as New Year's, Respect for the Aged Day, and Christmas.

Among these, the Day of the Ox is a popular traditional event meal in elderly care facilities, cherished as a representative Japanese summer event.

Magonote Kitchen proposes a special event meal limited to the Day of the Ox every year so that residents can enjoy these seasonal events through their meals. This year, we have prepared a menu combining grilled eel as the main dish with summery side dishes and desserts, supporting seasonal event meals at elderly care facilities.

About the Day of the Ox Menu

The menu offered this time features grilled eel, which is rich in fat and has a mild flavor, as the main dish, complemented by summery side dishes and desserts. This event meal is designed not only to evoke the season but also to be visually appealing.
