Boost Your Snacking and Takeaway Offer!
With a 16% increase in revenue in 2023, Japanese cuisine continues to win hearts. Snacking and takeaway formats have emerged as key trends. In this context, opportunities to enjoy Japanese food are multiplying: returning to the office, lunch on the go, and especially spring picnics inspired by Hanami—the Japanese tradition of celebrating cherry blossoms with a simple, friendly shared meal.

Spring-Inspired Takeaway Dish Ideas
To enhance your snacking offer, we’ve created simple, indulgent recipes that are perfect for takeaway:
Gua Bao, the Trendy Asian Sandwich
The Gua Bao, a soft steamed bun, is gaining popularity as a generous and original option. Here, we offer a version with sliced beef, inspired by a recipe from our partner chef, Saji Miho. The sliced beef [204890] is simmered with sake [203558], mirin [202055], soy sauce [132090], and a touch of sugar, then sautéed with sweet onions. Served warm in a bao [203469] with crispy lettuce, it’s as tasty as it is convenient for outdoor eating.
Chirashi & Pokebowl, Customizable Freshness in a Bowl
Another colorful and refreshing option: chirashi or poke bowls. Easy to assemble, they combine seasoned rice [200400], raw fish such as salmon [204270] or sea bream buri [204663], edamame [204032], crunchy vegetables, and sauces [132090] in a bowl [203491]. Perfect for a lunch break or a picnic, Japanese-style.
Bento, the Essential Takeaway Meal
A staple of Japanese culture, the bento box remains a favorite for portable meals. Balanced, complete, and elegant, it includes rice [200400], a side like karaage chicken [137670] or gyozas [204366], and seasonal vegetables. Served in our bento boxes [150410], it’s easy to carry for lunch on a terrace, in the park, or between meetings.
Refreshing Drinks to Pair with Your Creations
To complement your dishes, offer your customers a variety of takeaway beverages, with or without alcohol.
Japanese sake in convenient formats adds an authentic touch to the experience.
The no/low-alcohol trend is also booming, driven by consumers looking for freshness, flavor, and natural options. Discover a refreshing and original selection:
- Kirin Ichiban 0.0% alcohol-free beer [204262]
- Chulo sparkling sodas with fruity flavors [204823 – 204827]
- Mangajo fruit and tea drinks [110130 – 110170, 202667]

All great options to include in a Hanami picnic basket or to offer alongside your takeaway menus.
