Background
According to surveys by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, vegetable intake among Japanese people falls short of recommended targets across all age groups for both men and women,*3 creating demand for foods that make it easy to supplement insufficient vegetable consumption. Additionally, there is growing need for dietary options that accommodate individual lifestyles, including for people with food allergies and those who avoid gluten (a protein found in wheat and other grains) or animal-based foods for various reasons.
Otsuka Foods seeks to address these diverse needs in "a single box," developing a product that allows everyone to share the same table with peace of mind as part of the familiar Bon Curry lineup.
