Meta Heroes Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Kazutoshi Matsuishi; hereinafter "the Company") held a collaborative event "Learn SDGs with Sushi" with Kura Sushi Co., Ltd. at the DX education facility "Hero Egg" on Saturday, April 25, 2026. The event combined a real kaiten-zushi (conveyor belt sushi) experience with 3DCG creation, providing 32 parents and children with an opportunity to learn about social issues such as underutilized fish and food loss as their "own" problems.
On the day of the event, a total of 13 children and 19 guardians attended. Through a workshop that integrated the latest technology with play, participants learned about changes in the marine environment and food issues, and experienced a creative process of expressing "future sushi" using digital technology.
■ Event Highlights and Content
The event proceeded in three steps, with the theme of "making social issues personal while having fun."
Step 1: Learning "Will we be unable to eat sushi in the future!?"
Participants learned about Kura Sushi's efforts to utilize fish that are difficult to distribute in the market (underutilized fish), touching on videos and realistic fish models. They deepened their understanding of the crisis facing the sushi we usually eat.
Step 2: Sushi Restaurant Experience Game Using Actual Lanes
Using mechanical conveyor belt lanes and samples actually used in stores, a gamification program on the theme of reducing food loss was implemented. As teams challenged the game, the initially nervous children gradually relaxed, and the atmosphere became lively with active discussions and ideas flying around. Participants were seen enjoying the game repeatedly, fostering their ability to think about solutions to social issues through play.
Step 3: Creating "Future Sushi" with 3DCG
At the climax of the event, each child designed their "future sushi" using the latest 3DCG software. Free and rich ideas, such as sushi made with alternative ingredients and uniquely shaped sushi, took shape in the digital space.
■ Post-Event Feedback and Future Outlook
Participating parents and children commented, "It was an engaging content for parents and children to enjoy together, and we felt SDGs were closer to us," and "It was a great opportunity to think about contributing to society while experiencing the latest technology."
The Company will continue to leverage "Hero Egg" as a base, collaborating with companies and local governments to foster the next generation of heroes who can master the latest technology as "weapons to save the future" from Hero Egg.
