The authentic taste of the curry and stew is made with an open-flame baking roux. Mother's Day Gifts for "Do Nothing Time


The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day. This year it falls on Sunday, May 10.

Gifts such as flowers and sweets are standard, but in recent years, interest in "practical gifts" has been increasing.


On the other hand, however, Mother's Day does not necessarily mean the end of meal preparation, and many people say, "In the end, I am the one who cooks the meal.


With the increase in dual-earner households, the daily burden of meal preparation continues, and even on Mother's Day, "the usual chores" are still being performed.


Even on Mother's Day, people cannot take a break from making meals - this is a proposal that addresses such a situation.


Since its establishment, Cosmo Shokuhin Co., Ltd. has been making products, centering on curry roux made by an open-flame cooking method, that allow people to easily enjoy authentic flavors at home.

In recent years, Cosmo Shokuhin Co., Ltd. has been expanding its business to retort-pouch products, utilizing the taste creation technology it has cultivated through its manufacturing process.


For Mother's Day, we are proposing the option of "giving the gift of time without cooking.


By using retort pouch foods, which can be simply heated up to complete a meal, as a Mother's Day gift, we are offering a new way to give the gift of "time without having to do anything" on Mother's Day.

Cosmo Foods' Commitment: Unchanged Since Its Founding [Open-flame Grilling Method

Since its establishment, Cosmo Foods has been manufacturing products by focusing on raw materials and manufacturing methods, based on the idea of "delivering truly delicious food to consumers.


Among these, we are particularly particular about the "open-flame baking method.

By directly heating the pot during roux production, the flavor of the ingredients is brought out to the fullest extent, resulting in a savory and deep flavor.


This process, which is difficult for major manufacturers to adopt, and the time and care that goes into its production, are the reasons for our long-standing popularity.
