For one week from March 4th (Monday) to March 8th (Friday), 2024, Tavelmout Co., Ltd.'s raw spirulina ``Tavermout'' will be served at the NGK Insulators, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as NGK Insulators) head office Atsuta district employee cafeteria ``Attaka Shokudo''. We were provided with the daily special smoothie that we used.
NGK has been actively participating in the construction of the algae industry as a partner for building the MATSURI industry, but prior to that, due to the nature of the company's business, there was a high level of awareness of environmental issues at the company-wide level, and this project was also developed within the company. This was realized through the idea of ``Jade,'' a volunteer group that tackles environmental issues.
At NGK, we support volunteer activities such as this, and set up menus in which 10% of the proceeds are donated at the company cafeteria.We are engaged in a variety of initiatives to address social and environmental issues, as well as employee welfare and health management. We are actively doing this.
The employee cafeteria in the Atsuta area of the company's headquarters, where this event was held, is one of the cafeterias with a particularly rich and creative menu, and has a very good reputation among the company's many locations.
In addition, since this cafeteria is located in the head office, it is very important as a place for interaction where the president, executives, and employees meet at the same time and in the same place, and the entire cafeteria is bright and lively. .
It was a very honorable week for ``Spirulina'' to be able to participate in this precious event.
Spirulina, known as the king of superfoods, is loved by many people who are highly health-conscious, and its rich nutrients, antioxidants, and anti-allergy effects have resulted in amazing sales, far exceeding the kale smoothie on the regular menu. has been recorded.

Waiting in line for a spirulina smoothie
Usually, sweet smoothies do not go well with meals, so it is unlikely that such a large number will be served.
Since it is known as the king of superfoods, I expected that most of the people who would pick it up would be women, but in reality, there may have been an equal number of men, and there may have been a slightly higher number of men.
From everyone who picked up the smoothie,
"I've already repeated it many times."
"I choose it because it's delicious and good for the body."
“Honestly, I was surprised because the green color was so dark, but when I tried it, it was delicious and I liked it.”
"It means it contains algae, but I can't taste the algae. It's delicious."
"I wanted to try it. Next time I'd like to just taste the algae."
We received your feedback. It changes daily, so some people eat it every day. At first, I was surprised by the color but when I tried it, it was so delicious that I kept repeating it, and the number of sales seems to have increased day by day.
This overwhelming response is due not only to the effects of spirulina, but also to everyone at Jade, NGK Insulators employees, the people in charge of Green House Co., Ltd. who cooperated with us in developing menus that will be more delicious and healthier, and everyone at this event. This was achieved because everyone involved connected through MATSURI. We hope to continue to connect through MATSURI and expand new initiatives with your cooperation.
