Bestselling Series Reaches 40,000 Copies! Highly Anticipated New Release of Kureha's Official Microwave Recipe Book, Designed by Professionals to Effortlessly Beat the Scorching Summer Heat

Asuka Shinsya Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Naohisa Doi) will release the second official recipe book for Japan's first household plastic wrap, 'Kurelap,' titled 'Microwave Meals That Are Good for Your Body—Known Only by Kurelap Employees' on June 16, 2026.

Following the success of the first official recipe book, which surpassed 30,000 copies after being featured on multiple TV programs, this second volume is the definitive collection of quick and easy microwave meals recommended by Kurelap employees—true professionals in the art of microwave cooking. Under the theme of 'delicious and good for the body,' this edition features 101 recipes that require only a microwave—no stove needed—including meat and fish main dishes rich in protein, vegetable side dishes, rice and noodle dishes, and desserts, all designed to be 'vegetable-rich,' 'high in protein,' and 'low in calories and salt.'

The series has received high praise not only from busy parenting mothers who say, 'It’s so easy when I don’t feel like cooking in the heat—just one microwave step,' and 'Fewer dishes to wash are a lifesaver,' but also from beginner home cooks and seniors who appreciate the safety of stove-free cooking. This new book is packed with helpful recipes to conquer the extreme heat expected in 2026.
