From Nagoya! Kasugai Seika x SKE48 Collaboration Products Launching Exclusively in Tokai Area

Kasugai Seika Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, President: Daisuke Kasugai, hereinafter "the Company") will launch "Sweet and Salty Taste of Support" Green Mame and Usu-Peana, collaboration products with SKE48, an idol group active in Nagoya, exclusively in the Tokai area starting July 13, 2026 (Mon).

This product is a "taste of support" that gently encourages those who continue to challenge themselves, with the concept of "sweetness = dreams, saltiness = effort." It is proposed as a bean confectionery that accompanies daily efforts and delivers positive feelings.

● Background of Collaboration

As a company rooted in the region, the Company has provided connections between people and enjoyment in daily life through food. This collaboration was realized with the desire to energize the region by having a company and an idol with ties to Nagoya join hands. In particular, the desire to support the launch of SKE48 Team S, which has embarked on a new start as a new system in 2026, was a major catalyst for this project.

● Development Background

This project began by finding common ground between Kasugai Seika's long-selling bean confectionery brand and SKE48's embodiment of "hard work," "full effort," and "the power to move forward as a team." Bean confectionery is a food whose flavor spreads as you chew, and by synchronizing this characteristic with the accumulation of effort and combining it with the sweetness of dreams, the concept of "sweet and salty taste of support" was born.

By teaming up bean confectionery, a part of Nagoya's food culture, with SKE48, which continues to operate with roots in the local community, we aim to expand the "circle of support."

● Product Features

- "Taste of support" expressing "sweetness = dreams" and "saltiness = effort" - The comforting deliciousness of long-selling products Green Mame and Usu-Peana - Packaging featuring portraits of SKE48 Team S members, newly shot for this collaboration project - Original design with all 15 Team S members placed on individual tetra-pack wrappers, offering the joy of opening and an "oshi-katsu" (fan activity) experience
