Japanese Picnic: Boost Your Takeaway & Delivery Sales
With the arrival of warmer days, consumer habits are evolving: customers are looking for convenient, on-the-go, and high-quality options. Takeaway and delivery are no longer just alternatives—they have become an essential strategic lever for restaurateurs.
Inspired by Japan, the concepts below offer a visually appealing, modern, and easy-to-carry solution, while showcasing distinctive, high-value products.
Essential basics for a consistent product
It all starts with mastering the fundamentals.
Shinju Mai rice (203027), combined with the right seasoning such as Mizkan sushi-su vinegar (135091) or Rice Mighty (205377), ensures a consistent, high-quality base.
These elements are essential for ensuring consistency and efficiency in production, particularly when handling large volumes associated with takeout sales.
Onigiri: the Japanese takeout snack
Easy to make, economical, and very popular, onigiri have become a staple of Japanese snacking.
Thanks to Takaokaya seaweed in film (136180), it is possible to preserve the rice’s texture while ensuring an optimal tasting experience. Topped with skipjack tuna (205259), umeboshi (204427), or served with Kewpie mayonnaise (204697), they offer a wide variety of recipes.
A format perfectly suited for takeout and snack display cases.
Onigirazu: A Modern Alternative to the Sandwich
A heartier version, the onigirazu is a Japanese take on the sandwich.
Made with Yakinori seaweed (136440), it can be filled with ingredients such as fried shrimp (201870) or fried tofu (202781), then topped with sesame seeds (140360 / 140370).
A hearty, easy-to-carry format that sets it apart from traditional fast-food offerings.
Handroll: sushi made for take-away
Handrolls stand out for their convenient format and freshness.
Prepared with temaki nori sheets (203845) and filled according to your inspiration, they are perfectly suited for on-the-go consumption. Products such as sweet chili chicken strips (204794), cut into thin portions specifically designed for maki preparation, ensure precision and consistency while making it easy to create simple and effective recipes.
Sushi burrito: the ultra-trendy hybrid dish
A cross between sushi and street food, the sushi burrito meets today’s expectations: generous, visually appealing, and easy to take away.
Combining Yakinori seaweed (136440), fried tofu (202781), or karaage (204792), this format allows you to create complete, distinctive recipes.
An ideal solution for offering a signature product with high perceived value.
Bento & sides: complete takeout meals
To structure your menu, bento boxes remain a safe bet.
They allow you to offer complete meals by combining several products: goma wakame seaweed salad (200970), yakitori skewers (204320), oyaki (205513 / 205514), or vegan takoyaki (205398).
A practical solution to increase the average basket size while meeting the demand for balanced and varied meals.
Gua Bao: Street Food with a Twist
Gua bao bring a modern and customizable street food dimension to your menu.
Available in several versions (white, green, buckwheat), they can be easily adapted to your inspiration: meat, fish, or vegetarian. Made without palm oil, they also meet current expectations in terms of product composition.
A quick-to-prepare format, ideal for boosting your takeaway offering.
Drinks tailored for takeout
The beverage selection completes the experience.
The Tokyo Spritz (205478) is a sparkling alcoholic drink with ume plum flavor, perfect for sharing.
Kimino drinks (yuzu, ume, peach) offer a refreshing, high-quality alternative.
The exotic Maya juices (lychee, mango, guava, aloe vera, etc.) provide a fruity and accessible option, perfectly suited for on-the-go consumption.
A Sweet Treat That’s Easy to Take Away
Finally, a simple yet effective sweet offering makes all the difference.
The white chocolate chip matcha cookie (205670), crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, fits perfectly into a takeout menu.
A quick solution to round out your menus and satisfy your customers’ sweet tooth.
The Japanese picnic presents a concrete opportunity to grow your business:
