Watami Takushoku, a meal delivery service operated by Watami Co., Ltd., announced the reservation launch of its seasonal special bento, 'Domestic Wagyu Sukini-ju for Early Summer,' starting Thursday, May 21, 2026.
Delivering approximately 240,000 meals daily, primarily to the elderly, Watami Takushoku offers premium bento boxes as a 'monthly treat' in addition to its balanced daily meal plans. The special bento series over the past three months has nearly sold out each time, making it a highly popular initiative.
This time, the highlight is domestic Wagyu beef. By transforming the traditional sukiyaki hot pot into a bento, customers can easily enjoy the flavor without the hassle of home preparation. Even in the humid season when appetite tends to wane, the bento is crafted to ensure mealtime remains something to look forward to.
Heating this item in a microwave allows the Wagyu fat to melt, releasing a rich aroma and umami. Unlike typical sukiyaki served with beaten eggs, this bento features a 'fluffy egg stew,' allowing the rich taste of the Wagyu to be enjoyed lightly to the last bite. The color composition—yellow from the eggs, green from flat beans, and purple from shibazuke pickles—is designed to visually stimulate the appetite.
Watami Takushoku aims to bring joy and satisfaction to the daily lives of its customers, especially the elderly, by providing moments that capture the changing seasons.
