NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Taito-ku, Tokyo) and Nexeria East Japan Nagano Branch (Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture) aim to increase chefs working at restaurants in the service area (SA) to develop menus and create unique restaurants. As part of the “Hana-making,” we will hold the “NEXCO EAST 5th New Menu Contest Nagano Block Qualifying Session” with the theme of “Enjoying everyone's family menu”.
At the Nagano block qualifying event, six SA restaurants in the Joshinetsu Expressway, Nagano Expressway Nagano and Gunma prefectures competed for a new menu using plenty of local ingredients, and the one that was selected as the highest award next year. We will challenge the final competition held in Tokyo in March.

We would like to provide a place for families with children to enjoy meals and conversations with their parents during the trip.

"Asama prank" (Yokogawa SA In-bound line)
"Healthy" and "fun" are expressed by simulating the steam and loud noise that rises with a sauce over hot stone roasted with plenty of meat, vegetables and mushrooms as a volcano. It is a hearty menu that will fill your stomach.
