Our Commitment For Top Quality Lunches

Start Cooking In The Kindergarten's Kitchen

We aim to offer the best meals.

Our kindergarten doesn't only serve tasty snacks and lunches, our food is prepared with meticulous care. We are picky and interested in where our ingredients and seasonings come from, food production, and the nutritional value of each ingredient. Our designed meals are made in-house and handmade to keep the highest quality. We want our children to enjoy meal preparation and eating, but most importantly, show gratitude for nature and people and respect the environment as a source of their food.

We plan to make miso and grow vegetables with our children and the community. Tomi Sasaki, a registered dietitian, is our kindergarten's lunch advisor and food educator. We look forward to acquiring the knowledge of Ms. Sasaki's expertise, thoughts, and way of using real ingredients in our practice.
