REDAS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yusuke Daimaru; hereinafter "REDAS"), under its Wellni brand, is collaborating with the Japan Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation (JBBF) to launch two new products supervised by two top athletes registered with the JBBF: 'Gym Meshi Chicken Jambalaya' and 'Gym Meshi Bolognese Short Pasta'. These will be sequentially released starting July 7, 2026, at 7-Eleven stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area (1 metropolitan prefecture and 3 prefectures, excluding some stores) in the frozen food section.
These products were supervised in their recipes by Kaito Ogiya, the 2025 Japan Men's Bodybuilding Championship champion, and Yuli Yasui, the World Bikini Fitness champion. Developed with the theme of "authentic meals that people working on body composition can easily pick up at convenience stores," meticulous attention was paid to taste, texture, and nutritional design.
Previously, when trying to assemble a meal for body composition or healthy eating at a convenience store, it was necessary to purchase multiple items such as chicken salad, onigiri, and protein drinks. Furthermore, prioritizing "convenience" and "protein content" often led to compromises in taste and texture, creating a challenge where daily meals tended to be plain and uninspiring.
'Gym Meshi (GYMMESHI)' challenges this "common sense." The absolute development condition was to ensure sufficient protein per serving without compromising on taste, texture, or authenticity. We deliver a serious meal to your dining table every day, not just a "convenience store bento" – an ethnic-style jambalaya made with 7 kinds of authentic spices, and a rich bolognese with slow-cooked demi-glace sauce.
"Secrets of Deliciousness" for Each Product
◆ Thoroughly Refined. 47.3g Protein / 6.4g Fat.
Authentic Jambalaya finished with 7 kinds of spices.
Gym Meshi Chicken Jambalaya (Supervised by Kaito Ogiya)
Secret of Deliciousness 1 | Moist chicken breast even after microwaving.
Microwaved chicken breast often has a dry image. To overturn this common perception, this product achieves a moist texture through unique low-temperature cooking that cannot be replicated at home.
Secret of Deliciousness 2 | A new taste option with brown rice x 7 kinds of authentic spices.
Brown rice is combined with 7 kinds of authentic spices and original chicken bone broth extract to recreate a deep flavor. This dish offers a new taste option that changes the image of "healthy food = bland."

Gym Meshi Bolognese Short Pasta (Supervised by Yuli Yasui)
Secret of Deliciousness 1 | Carefully selected two cuts of beef round with high lean meat content.
While bolognese typically uses fattier cuts, this product intentionally uses two cuts with high lean meat content: "inner round" and "outer round." It achieves a satisfying finish with reduced fat while delivering the rich umami of the meat.
Secret of Deliciousness 2 | Authentic, rich demi-glace sauce simmered slowly.
By simmering the demi-glace for three days, it is concentrated to create a deep, rich flavor packed with the umami of beef. This dish can be enjoyed daily without worrying about fat content.

◆ Recommended Scenarios
Scenario 1 | For those who "want to eat healthy but are not good at cooking," as a daily meal.
It's difficult to prepare nutritious meals every day. By stocking them in the freezer, you can have an authentic meal ready anytime. Perfect for those living alone or who want a different menu from their family.
Scenario 2 | For busy business professionals, for late-night dinners.
Even on days when you return home late from work, you can easily have a nutritious meal instead of eating out or having instant noodles. You can continue to have a dinner that contributes to your performance the next day without strain.
Scenario 3 | As a meal immediately after training.
Purchased at the nearest 7-Eleven on the way home from the gym and taken directly home. Simply heat in the microwave at home to replenish protein during the golden hour after training.
