“Eating Cooperation Shops” Business

What is "Eating Partner Shop"?

Myo is accepting applications

Did you know that there is a lot of "food loss" in Japan that can be eaten but discarded?
Yokohama City is working to promote a lifestyle that values "food" in order to accelerate efforts to reduce food loss through approaches from various perspectives.
In particular, in order to reduce food loss when eating out, we are developing a “food cooperating store” business with the cooperation of business operators. We register restaurants that can work on reducing leftovers as cooperating stores and introduce them on our website.
When eating out in Yokohama city, please use the stores registered as "Eating Cooperation Shops" as an eco-friendly activity to eat. Registered stores can be confirmed on the food cooperating store website (outside site).
In addition, businesses that provide meals in Yokohama City are waiting for registration at "Eating Cooperation Shops".
