At Hotel New Castle (TEL 0172-36-1211, Kamisashishi-cho, Hirosaki-shi), a "restaurant against bento lunch box" is currently being held.

The same project where four restaurants in Newcastle near Hirosaki Park compete for sales with take-out products under the theme of "a bento that feels spring". Four restaurants, "Tavern Konohana", cafe restaurant "Brasserie Le Castle", sweets bakery "Le Castle Factory", and restaurant "Bellevue" will participate.

Tsuyoshi Tsuchida, President, said, “The new coronavirus caused the Sakura Festival to be cancelled, and we had to think about new ways to attract customers. The takeout products offered at each restaurant were the same base as in-hotel competition. I thought of a plan to compete in."

The plan started on March 14th, and the menu price was unified at 1,200 yen, making it a condition of taking advantage of the features of the restaurant. Mr. Tsuchida smiled, "I decided to start from April and decided the content early. The hardest thing was taking pictures rather than the content."

Mr. Satoko Hayashi, who became the chef of the brasserie after being part-time job, challenged with a hamburger box. Takashi Hasegawa, the chef of Western food and Bellevue, entered with two types of "pork shoulder loin mustard cutlet" and "five-grain chicken roasted steak", and Japanese cuisine of this flower Mr. Hisashige Yamaguchi "pork shabu bento", ru・Castle Factory's Kazuyuki Otani chose "Factory Assort 4" with four sweets on the menu.

After the end of the period, the results will be published on the website. “It's not limited to this time, but it will be planned as the second and third, and it will be an opportunity to use our hotel,” says Tsuchida.

Until May 6th.
