## Workshop Announcement: Let's Learn About Food Loss Through Quizzes!
Loss Zero, Inc. (Nishi-ku, Osaka; Representative: Miyuki Aya), which aims to reduce food loss by utilizing 'too good to waste' food, will host a family workshop on May 30th (Saturday) at Daimaru Suma. This event will coincide with the 'Food Mottainai Sale!' held from May 27th (Wednesday) to June 2nd (Tuesday).
Although the term 'food loss' is increasingly heard, there are still few opportunities to learn exactly why it occurs and what kinds of food are wasted.
In this workshop, through quiz formats and interactive content that even small children can enjoy, the company aims to help participants feel that 'mottainai' (too good to waste) is a familiar issue and provide an opportunity to translate this into daily actions. The venue will feature food loss quizzes and exhibitions where participants can learn about sub-standard and surplus foods.
Participants can experience firsthand the discovery of why perfectly edible food becomes waste.
■ Workshop Overview
Location: Myodani Station Plaza (in front of Starbucks)
Date and Time: May 30, 2026 (Saturday), 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM (One-day event)
Participation Fee: Free
Eligibility: Everyone from children to adults
■ 'Food Mottainai Sale!' on the 2nd Floor!!
In the event space on the second floor, the 'Loss Zero Store' will be held simultaneously, selling foods that have lost their market path, such as surplus, sub-standard, and seasonal items. You can purchase chocolate, sweets, condiments, and rice toppings that are still delicious at great prices.
At Loss Zero, rather than just offering discounts, we propose 'ethical consumption' by carefully explaining the reasons behind why items became food loss, which leads to behavioral change in consumers.
■ Connecting 'Learning' and 'Buying' to Encourage Family Conversation
Food loss occurs not only in households but also during manufacturing, distribution, and retail. This event aims to help participants feel closer to social issues while having fun through two experiences: 'learning' in the workshop and 'choosing/buying' at the sale.
