Japan Knowledge Space Acquires 2026 'Food Education Promotion Company/Organization Certification'. Establishes 'Full Course of Food' Support System for IT Engineers and Their Families

Japan Knowledge Space Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryukoku Matsuoka; hereinafter referred to as 'the Company'), which operates a system development business, is pleased to announce that it has received the 2026 Japan Society of Food Education 'Food Education Promotion Company/Organization Certification'.

The Company believes that not only the health of IT engineers themselves but also the 'health and happiness of their families' who support their activities are indispensable for the sustainable growth of the company. Therefore, we have been building an infrastructure that comprehensively supports family dining tables. Our new system, 'Meat Reward Subscription Service,' introduced on April 1, 2026, which ensures a 'Full Course of Food' with staples, side dishes, and main dishes automatically provided, was highly evaluated in receiving the 2026 Japan Society of Food Education 'Food Education Promotion Company/Organization Certification'.

■ Overview of Certification

Name: 2026 Japan Society of Food Education 'Food Education Promotion Company/Organization Certification'

Certification Period: April 1, 2026 – March 31, 2027

Reason for Certification: Establishment of a comprehensive dietary support system for employees and their families, covering staples, side dishes, and main dishes, as well as continuous contribution to the local community (children's cafeterias).

■ Background of Certification: Why support 'employees' families'?

In modern dual-income households and families, daily meal planning, grocery shopping, and nutritional management place an extremely large burden (cognitive load). Especially the recent soaring food prices are a serious issue that deprives families of their 'leisure'.

The Company respects its employees as 'human capital' and creates an environment where employees can concentrate on creative work with peace of mind by designing the 'family health' that is its foundation. This certification acknowledges the following '4+1 Measures to Protect Family Dining Tables'.

■ Five Pillars of the 'Food Safety Net' that bring smiles to employees and their families

1. [Main Dish] Meat Reward Subscription Service (New System: Started April 1, 2026)

This is a new system that expresses 'gratitude to families'. Once every three months, up to 3.2 kg of meat, mainly domestic brand meat, is delivered directly to employees' homes.

Professional Selection: Partnering with a long-established butcher shop, the meat is cut after the order and delivered in the freshest possible condition.

Family Gathering: Provides main dishes for approximately 8-12 meals, offering a rich dining experience for the family. It promotes the intake of quality protein, vitamins, and iron, supporting recovery from fatigue.

2. [Side Dish] Vegetable Intake Support System: Home Delivery of Off-spec Vegetables

Certified as a 'Vegetable Supporter' by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Over 500 kg of 'off-spec vegetables' that do not reach the market are purchased monthly (actual result for March 2026 was 930 kg) and delivered free of charge to all employees' homes.

Health Promotion for All Family Members: The arrival of large quantities of fresh vegetables naturally increases vegetable dishes on the family table, supporting the achievement of the Ministry of Health, Labour and and Welfare's target of '350g per day' at the household level.

3. [Staple] Rice Purchase Subsidy System

A maximum of 10,000 yen is subsidized for the purchase of rice (polished rice, brown rice), which is a staple food.

Household Budget Stability: By subsidizing 'rice,' which is most affected by rising prices, the economic burden on child-rearing households is directly alleviated, and peace of mind is provided.

4. [Employee Cafeteria] Virtual Employee Cafeteria 'Ticket Restaurant'

Electronic meal cards that can be used at over 250,000 restaurants and delivery services nationwide are distributed to all employees.

Fair Support: Can be used for lunch or adding an item to dinner while working from home or out. Functions as a 'wherever employee cafeteria' that is not limited by location.

5. [Social Contribution] Support for 'Children's Cafeterias'

Supports not only its own employees and their families but also families in the local community. Utilizing the corporate version of hometown tax donation, continuous support (over 1 million yen annually) is provided to local 'children's cafeterias'.

Investment in the Next Generation: Contributes to solving isolated eating among children and securing 'safe places' in the community, aiming for a sustainable society.

■ Comment from Representative Director Ryukoku Matsuoka

"The performance of engineers themselves is built upon a healthy life with their families. With this 'Food Education Promotion Company' certification (certification period: April 1, 2026 – March 31, 2027) and the start of the new 'Meat Reward Subscription Service,' we have completed a system where our company backs up all core elements of the family dining table: rice, vegetables, and meat. Especially now, with soaring prices, our company designs the 'fixed costs' of household budgets and will continue to lead 'adult food education' so that employees and their beloved families can spend healthy and fulfilling time."
