Kubara Honke and Kayanoya to hold cooking classes at city supermarkets in Hong Kong

Kayanoya, a brand that sells a variety of seasonings and foods, with a focus on dashi, is highly popular among women who are particular about food, and is also widely known as a "gift that people will be happy to receive."


The Kayanoya brand is developed by the Kubara Honke Group, headquartered in Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture. Its roots lie in a soy sauce brewery. In addition to Kayanoya, the group currently has other brands, including "Kubara," "Shobouan," "Hokkaido Kubara," and "Hokkaido Shobouan," all of which are high-quality seasonings and foods that will take your home cooking to the next level.

 

This popularity is not limited to Japan; tourists from all over Asia have learned about Kayanoya, which is gaining attention in Japan, and come to shop at the stores.


In response to this, Kubara Honke opened its first permanent overseas store in a city supermarket in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong in 2019. In addition, in order to deepen understanding of Japanese food culture, the company has been holding cooking classes on an irregular basis since 2023 to introduce how to use Kayanoya products.

 

 

The cooking class commissions instructors living in Hong Kong to provide recipes, and based on the concept of "from Japan to home," introduces recipes that include popular Hong Kong dishes other than Japanese cuisine, as well as recipes using seasonal Hong Kong ingredients.
