Background of Event Planning

Juchheim and Suzugami Kamaboko are both engaged in manufacturing that values the deliciousness of ingredients. Juchheim offers "/0 (Slash Zero)" sweets that utilize the power of ingredients and the skills of artisans. Suzugami also continues to make kamaboko by facing the ingredients and inheriting the skills of artisans to bring out the deliciousness of fish.

Both companies wish to convey the value of manufacturing that utilizes such ingredients to a wider audience. Through this event, we aim to provide children with an opportunity to become interested in food and develop their own perspectives on choosing food by learning about what ingredients their familiar foods are made from and how they are produced.
