深夜のホテルで出会う、安らぎの味。レストランが閉まった後の「本物の和食」という選択

A taste of comfort found late at night in a hotel. The choice of "authentic Japanese cuisine" after the restaurant has closed.

Have you ever found yourself in an unfamiliar city, looked at the clock, and realized all the restaurants were closed?

Or perhaps, after a long journey, you arrived at your hotel so exhausted that you had no energy left to go out. Have you ever had such an experience?

In a quiet hotel room late at night, you might reach for a bento box or snacks bought from a nearby convenience store to satisfy your hunger.

Of course, these are convenient options for travelers. However, if you're visiting Japan, a country renowned for its rich food culture, why not strive for "authenticity" even in that last meal? This is also a secret to dramatically enhancing your travel experience.

We propose a can of premium Japanese food tucked away in your suitcase. It's a magical provision that can instantly transform any time and any place into a "Japanese ryotei" (traditional Japanese restaurant).

 

The Power to Transform Late-Night Hunger into a "Luxurious Respite"

The reason to choose "Wa no Shoku" (Japanese food) is not merely to satisfy hunger.

Our products are chosen by many travelers, especially business travelers with time constraints and gourmets who wish to enjoy their private time, because they offer an "authentic Japanese culinary experience."

 

 

For instance, imagine "Sea Bream Steamed in Sake" using natural sea bream from Ehime Prefecture, or "Wagyu Sukiyaki" with A5-grade Kuroge Wagyu beef from Miyazaki Prefecture.

These dishes are prepared one by one by artisans at our own workshop in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, under the supervision of chefs who have trained at Michelin-starred Japanese restaurants, carefully assessing the condition of the ingredients.

Simply boil water and heat the can in a hot water bath for about 4 to 5 minutes. The moment you open the can, the rich aroma of dashi broth fills the room.

The dashi, which forms the base of this aroma, is painstakingly condensed over two days, removing impurities to extract only the umami of the ingredients. In the quiet of a late-night hotel, enveloped by this aroma, the fatigue of your journey will gently melt away.

 

Beyond "Convenience": The Pride of the Artisan

While the world is flooded with easily consumable foods, what we uphold is a cooking method that brings out the life of the ingredients.

Sea bream nurtured in Japan's rich seas, Hiroshima oysters meticulously selected one by one by the artisan's touch, Hokkaido scallops. These carefully selected Japanese ingredients are preserved for a long time using heat sterilization techniques and the artisan's seasoning, without relying on preservatives or other artificial means.

The manufacturing number engraved on each can is also proof that we make no compromises on quality. Because it's something you put into your precious body, even for a late-night meal, we want you to choose "the real thing" that conveys the quality of the ingredients.

That sense of security is the pride that Wa no Shoku cherishes as a premium brand.

 

42 Varieties for a Flexible Dining Experience

Another appeal of Wa no Shoku is its wide range of diverse items. We currently offer 42 different menu options, providing the pleasure of choosing according to your mood.

 

For a night when you want to enjoy a drink, try "Hot Pot Style," where the spicy sauce enhances the sweetness of the sea bream.

 

When you want to warm your body before sleeping, enjoy "Osuimono" (clear soup) with a whole scallop or oyster.

 

When you want to soothe your mind with something sweet, try "Kuzu Tofu" with its smooth texture, made from Yoshino kuzu (arrowroot).

 

All of these can be carried at room temperature, so you can enjoy them with the same quality not only during your travels in Japan but also at home after returning.

 

"Bring Japan Home," Even While You're There

Our tagline, "日本を持って帰ろう。/ Bring Japan Home," conveys not just the idea of physically taking home souvenirs, but also our desire for you to experience "authentic Japan" in every scene of your stay.

Travelers visit our main store at the Kizu Wholesale Market in Osaka, known as the "kitchen of Osaka," almost daily.

Some customers choose a few cans "to enjoy at their hotel tonight," while others use our service to have them delivered directly to their hotel.

 

On your next trip to Japan, in addition to making restaurant reservations, please consider packing a few cans of "Wa no Shoku" in your bag.

 

Late at night in your hotel, quietly open a can. What awaits you is not just a meal, but a quiet moment of communion with "Wa no Shoku" that will make your trip a deeper, more beautiful memory.

We look forward to helping enrich your travels with our exquisite products, crafted with heart by artisans, available at the Kizu Market store in Osaka or through our online shop.
