Outsourcing business from Yokohama City
Yokohama-shi consignment business (growth learning generation)
In order to extend healthy life expectancy, we are working in the community under a business consignment from Yokohama City.
We work on a well-balanced diet, such as a generation of raising and learning, a generation of working and raising children, and a generation of fertile.

Other Requested Businesses
State at the Hodogaya Residents' Festival
In addition to the commissioned business, we carry out the business when there is a request from the area.
We are active in community care plazas, elementary schools, and district centers.
At the Hodogaya Residents' Festival, we measure the amount we usually eat with actual vegetables and experience the difference from the daily intake target of 350g.
We carry out bean grab game for children. The photo on the right shows the situation at that time.
