Ajinomoto Frozen Foods Launches New "Meat and Vegetable Ankake Donburi Topping" Featuring Four Types of Vegetables and Pork Belly with Seafood Salt Sauce

Ajinomoto Frozen Foods Co., Inc. (President: Yoshitaka Minami, Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) will launch its new frozen product, "Meat and Vegetable Ankake Donburi Topping," nationwide on Sunday, June 7, 2026, featuring four types of vegetables and pork belly seasoned with a rich seafood-based salt sauce.

**New Frozen Donburi Topping with Both Vegetables and Meat!**

The frozen donburi topping market grew by approximately 119%*1 in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2022. Our existing product, "Vegetable-rich Chuka Donburi Topping," boasts the No. 1 sales position*2 in the frozen Chuka Donburi topping market. It is highly regarded for its convenience in incorporating vegetables, as one bag contains approximately 1/3 of the daily vegetable intake target (350g) promoted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Health Japan 21*3. Furthermore, seniors account for more than half of the purchasers of this product*4, indicating a high demand for balanced meals. Therefore, we are now launching the "Meat and Vegetable Ankake Donburi Topping," which allows consumers to enjoy both vegetables and meat, using four types of vegetables and pork. We propose a new option that balances vegetable intake with meal satisfaction.

The "Meat and Vegetable Ankake Donburi Topping" uses four types of vegetables—cabbage, onion, carrot, and green onion—along with pork belly, finished with a rich seafood-based salt sauce. A complete dish can be easily prepared by simply heating it in the microwave and pouring it over rice. The salt sauce blends well with rice, allowing for a satisfying meal.

**Microwave Cooking for Various Meal Scenes**

Preparation is easy without using fire; simply heat the inner bag in the microwave. This makes it suitable not only for daily meals but also for summer, when cooking can be burdensome due to severe heat. Furthermore, it pairs well not only with rice but also with noodles such as udon, allowing enjoyment in various meal scenes.

We will continue to develop unique value-added products that combine convenience and deliciousness, staying close to consumers' lives, and delivering "inspiration" and "smiles."
