NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Taito-ku, Tokyo) and Nexeria East Japan Tokorozawa Branch (Saitama Prefecture Tokorozawa City) aimed to increase the motivation of chefs working at restaurants in the service area (SA) to develop menus and to create unique stores. As part of the “Flower Making” initiative, we will hold the “NEXCO EAST 5th New Menu Contest Tokorozawa Block Qualifying Session” with the theme of “Enjoyable Family Menu”.
At the Tokorozawa block qualifying event, 6 SA restaurants in Saitama and Gunma prefectures on the Kan-Etsu Expressway competed for a new menu that used plenty of local ingredients, and the one that was selected as the highest award in Tokyo next March. I will challenge the final competition held in.

"Mt. Akagi and Hana Kagomori" (Akagi Kogen SA Out-bound Line)
Based on the theme of local production for local consumption, the main ingredients are prefecture-produced Joshu pork, country miso made by a method handed down to farmers in Showa Village, and fresh vegetables cultivated in the climate of Gunma and the blessings of the earth. We added the local dango soup used. Joshu pigs, which are rich in vitamin B, are effective in relieving fatigue.In addition, about 25 items of ingredients such as fresh vegetables, root vegetables, sesame, and apple yogurt are placed in a small bowl in a well-balanced manner to create a body and mind that are larger than they look. It is an energetic dish.
