This project is a special event where students from the "Itamae Open School," a culinary training program offered by Daito Kigyō Co., Ltd., will showcase the results of their daily studies. Young chefs who will lead the next generation will pour their passion into each dish in a practical setting.

The "Itamae Open School" is a practical curriculum with no tuition fees, established with the aim of passing on Japanese culinary culture and addressing the social issue of a shortage of chefs. Students learn the knowledge and skills necessary in the field, from the basics of Japanese cuisine to cooking techniques, how to handle ingredients, and customer service, while working at Daito Kigyō's restaurants. The head chef, Okamoto, personally lectures at the Itamae Open School, overseeing the curriculum and human resource development.

The "Itamae Open School Special Lunch" will feature high-quality ingredients carefully selected from all over Japan. For the meat dish, we will offer "Furano Wagyu Dashi Shabu Style," and for the meal, "Mikawa Isshiki Eel" served as grilled eel over rice. The lunch, normally priced at 7,000 yen, will be offered at a special price of 5,000 yen.

Daito Kigyō Co., Ltd., approaching its 100th anniversary, will continue to train chefs who support Japanese food culture and pass on the appeal of Japanese cuisine to the next generation.
