Asahi Ward Dietary Improvement Promotion Member (nickname: Asahi Ward Health Mate)

Asahi Ward Healthmate, a puppet show “Onigiri Asahi-kun” as part of its efforts to promote food education, the Asahi Ward Dietary Lifestyle Improvement Promotion Committee.
The story of the puppet show is that Asahi Ward's mascot character Asahi-kun does not eat breakfast but goes to the vegetable country and has his friends teach the importance of having breakfast, eats vegetables and mushrooms.
Until now, puppet shows have been performed at nursery schools, etc., but in the future we will distribute videos of the puppet play "Onigiri Asahi-kun" on YouTube so that residents of the city can watch it as many times as possible. In addition, we have created an easy-to-read short version, so we will distribute the video there.
