## To Inbound Tourists with Diverse Dietary Styles
We propose the following solutions for restaurant operations.

'Coexistence of Gastronomy and Diversity'
Now that catering to inbound tourists is required, veganism can be offered not as a 'restriction' but as the 'latest gastronomy' that satisfies all customers.

'Uncompromising Quality'
Even though it is vegan-friendly, there is absolutely no compromise on taste. It is a finished product pursuing a deliciousness that makes it hard to believe no animal ingredients are used.

'Smooth Introduction to the Kitchen'
No special skills or processes are required. We have achieved high versatility that can be incorporated into regular menus without changing the on-site workflow.

'Minimal Inventory Risk Generating No Waste'
The long shelf life, which can flexibly adapt to changes in demand, is also a key point. Because it can be utilized in small quantities, it minimizes the burden of inventory to the utmost limit.

## Bringing Plant-Based Meals to a 'New Form'
Responding to inbound demand is not a 'burden' but a 'chance for growth'. Green Culture has focused on overwhelming 'deliciousness' that satisfies even customers seeking special dining experiences.
We support the creation of added value for restaurants by achieving both 'ease of cooking' that does not increase the burden on the kitchen and 'convincing prices'. Our products strongly back up the creation of a 'chosen restaurant' where hurdles to food diversity are minimized and all customers can share excitement at the same table.
