"Kanpo Eat & Smile Project" Opening Event
Kanpo Life Insurance held the opening event for its "Kanpo Eat & Smile Project," themed "Healthy Mind and Body Through Food," at THE THEATRE TABLE in Shibuya Hikarie, Tokyo, on February 15.
At this venue on the 11th floor of Shibuya Hikarie, the "Kanpo Eat & Smile Cafe" will offer five original menu items for a limited time until the 28th. These include nutritionally balanced healthy dishes and collaborations featuring seasonal ingredients and locally sourced produce, prepared by the "Foodie King," a member of the foodie all-stars active on SNS. Additionally, during the same period, 23 participating cafes and restaurants on the 6th and 7th floors will host the "Kanpo Eat & Smile Fair," offering healthy tie-up menus aligned with the project.
During the project period, ordering these original or collaboration menus will result in a portion of the amount donated to Second Harvest Japan's "Children's Nutrition Support Project," a food bank organization. Kanpo Life Insurance will also match this donation dollar-for-dollar.
At the event, President Mitsuhiko Uehira expressed his thoughts on the project: "As part of our company's health promotion initiatives, we launched this project hoping that eating will lead to both physical and mental health. We sincerely hope everyone will take this opportunity to try the project menus."
Actress Mayuko Kawakita, professional golfer Momoko Ueda, and gourmet blogger Foreign Deb Hashii (also a member of the "Tabe Aru King" group) appeared as guests.
Hasshi, one of the menu supervisors for this event, introduced five original dishes and held a tasting session for the female guests. After tasting the "Photogenic Meat! Roast Beef Bowl 2018," Ms. Kawakita commented, "Delicious! The basil adds a refreshing touch to the rice, and the lemon really comes through." Ms. Ueda, who sampled the "Sake Lees Panna Cotta Floating in Hakkaisan Jelly," remarked, "It's a rich yet healthy dessert. A sophisticated flavor—delicious!"
Aligning with the project's theme, Ms. Kawakita stated, "To stay energetic, I eat a lot. Food is the source of energy. Eating delicious things motivates me. Meals are important both mentally and physically." Ms. Ueda also shared her thoughts on food, saying, "I've been attending cooking classes myself for several years now. As an athlete, I consciously focus on balanced meals centered around protein."
