Oisix La Terre Co., Ltd.

▲ Radish Boya "Ripe Peach and White Eggplant Caprese"

Turning the Monotony of Home Cooking into a Joyful Experience

Amid rising prices, consumers are increasingly prioritizing savings, reducing spending on food—especially dining out. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' Household Survey Report (※1), household spending on dining out (for households of two or more people) decreased by 2.9% year-on-year in real terms.

This trend has accelerated the shift toward "home dining" (eating at home). However, as families cook more at home, many now face a new challenge: meal repetition, with the same ingredients and seasonings leading to monotonous daily meals.

To address this, Radish Boya launched the "Vegetable Meal Set" in January 2025, delivering seasonal ingredients and innovative recipes to inspire fresh culinary experiences and break the cycle of repetitive home cooking.

Since launch, the service has steadily gained popularity, particularly among adults aged 50 to 70. In the past three months alone, shipments have grown at a pace of 50,000 meals per month, surpassing a cumulative total of 530,000 meals (as of June 24, 2026). Starting June 29, 2026 (Mon), Radish Boya will introduce a new summer menu featuring abundant seasonal ingredients.

A Sensory Delight: "Ripe Peach and White Eggplant Caprese"

The star of this summer's menu is the "Peach and White Eggplant Caprese." This dish highlights the juicy sweetness and rich aroma of perfectly ripened peaches, paired with the uniquely smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture of white eggplant. By combining fruit and vegetables—an unexpected pairing—it creates a surprising depth of flavor and a truly memorable dining experience.

The recipe is intentionally simple, using minimal seasoning and oil to let the natural flavors of the ingredients shine. To achieve this dish, Radish Boya carefully selects ingredients, from cultivation to harvest timing.

Features of the Peach Growing Region

▲ Producer: Yamanshi Shizenjuku, Mr. Ozawa

The peaches used in the Vegetable Meal Set come from Yamanshi Shizenjuku in Yamanashi Prefecture. Producer Mr. Ozawa is deeply committed to delivering peaches at their absolute peak, harvesting them as close to full ripeness as possible. These delicate, fully ripened peaches are extremely difficult to distribute without compromising quality. However, by hand-picking each fruit and carefully packing them, Radish Boya ensures the peaches arrive at customers' tables with their rich fragrance and tender, juicy flesh intact.

Features of the White Eggplant Growing Region

▲ Producer: Shikoku no Yasai, Mr. Kumagai

The white eggplants are cultivated by Mr. Kumagai from Kochi Prefecture, a professional grower who refined his expertise in white eggplant cultivation at Radish Boya's request. White eggplants can easily grow too large, becoming fibrous and losing their desirable texture. Through advanced cultivation techniques, Mr. Kumagai harvests smaller eggplants weighing around 200g, ensuring beautiful skin and firm flesh that transforms into an exceptionally smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture when cooked.

Key Features of the Vegetable Meal Set (5 Highlights)

1 Break free from routine cooking with surprising combinations like fruit and vegetables, expanding your culinary repertoire.

2 Turn carefully selected vegetables into centerpieces with simple preparations—eat raw or lightly grilled—and be amazed by their potential.

3 Receive ingredients and recipes for seven dishes (serves 2–3), eliminating the hassle of meal planning and grocery shopping.

4 Use up imperfect vegetables and fruits, supporting farmers and sustainable agriculture.

5 All ingredients meet Radish Boya's unique environmental conservation production standard "RADIX," minimizing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
