A flood of inquiries! What happened next to the "Takana Pilaf" that Fujii ate in Fukuoka?

2020 has been a turbulent year, but it wasn't all dark news. Do you remember the "historic moment" that took place here in Fukuoka?

That's right! On August 20, 2020, the new champion, Sota Fujii, became the youngest player in history to win two titles and be promoted to the eighth dan rank. The meal that Fujii ate at the time became a hot topic.

We will introduce what happened after the "game meal" prepared by Nishitetsu Grand Hotel at that time from FBS Fukuoka Broadcasting's "Mentai Wide," which aired on Wednesday, December 23, 2020.

What happened after the "game meal" that Fujii ate?

This is the "game meal" that Fujii ate on the day of the match.

The "game meal" prepared by Nishitetsu Grand Hotel on the first day was a set of tempura bowl and Noko udon.

On the second day, we had a set of takana pilaf.

The "game meal" played a part in helping Fujii win the title.

Nishitetsu Grand Hotel was inundated with inquiries about "game meals" from people wanting to emulate Fujii's success, and people looking for "game meals" gathered from all over the country.

This is the takana pilaf that Fujii ate on the second day.

The response was so great that the head chef said, "We received many inquiries from customers without even advertising," and it was commercialized. It was served at the cafe on the first floor, but unfortunately, Takana Pilaf is not currently on the menu.

It's a shame that I can't eat it anymore...

But... surprise! Starting tomorrow, Monday, January 4th, 2021, Takana Pilaf will be returning as a "prepared food"!!

[Released on January 4th] Fujii's winning meal, "Takana Pilaf," is now available as a retort food!

Simply mix this ready-made food with rice to enjoy the butter-flavored "taste of a hotel" with "Nishitetsu Grand Hotel Western-Style Takana Pilaf" (1 bag for 2 servings, 777 yen including tax).

The price is 777 yen, with three sevens in a row, which seems like an auspicious figure.

This is said to also be meant as a "lucky meal" to support students as they prepare to take the exams.

"Nishitetsu Grand Hotel Western-Style Takana Pilaf" can be purchased at "Le Petit Palais" on the 1st floor of Nishitetsu Grand Hotel, as well as at "Nishitetsu Store" and the "Online Shop (https://www.nishitetsugrand-shop.jp/ *Scheduled to open on January 4, 2021)".

Additionally, if you purchase two or more items at Le Petit Palais on the first floor of Nishitetsu Grand Hotel, the first 100 customers will receive a free "game meal strap" made from hinoki cypress.

Many people are looking to try new things in the new year.

I would like to try the Takana Pilaf from the "Game Meal" and share in Fujii's "lucky luck". (Text by ARNE Editorial Department)
