Recorded No. 1 support amount in domestic crowdfunding!! “Japanese first” all-color pan-Middle Eastern cuisine recipe book that meets needs such as halal and vegetarian is now on sale!!

LD&K Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo/Representative Director: Hidemasa Otani) operates Cafe Bohemia, a popular gypsy club with a spacious open terrace reminiscent of a resort area in the Middle East and an exotic interior. We will publish the full-color Pan-Middle Eastern cuisine recipe book "MEYHANE TABLE-Middle Eastern cuisine party at Ie Meihane-" by Mr. Salaam Kaisei.

In crowdfunding, which was held under the guise of producing a book with the best creative team, the amount of support was 2,720,500 yen (558 people supported), the highest amount of support in the history of recipe books in Japan. It's a recipe book.

With the increasing number of tourists visiting Japan, there is a rapid increase in demand for food culture such as Muslims and vegetarians, which was not familiar to Japan. Lebanese and Israeli cuisine(*1)was compiled into 55 recipes. Not only kebabs, but also colorful and healthy appetizers called "meze", main dishes, soups, and desserts. Many vegetarian menus are also posted.
(*1)Based on our research

The best creative team, the first all-color Japanese "pan-Middle Eastern cuisine recipe" book project
https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/3538

▽ Publication history
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Japan Tourism Agency, the number of foreign tourists who visited Japan in 2015 was approximately 19.73 million (estimate), an increase of 47.1% compared to the previous year, setting a new record for the third consecutive year.
Under such a booming situation, the Japan Tourism Agency has identified Muslims and vegetarians as foreign customers that should be actively developed in the future.
The world's population exceeds 1.6 billion people, and it is said that Muslims make up 40% of the total population in Southeast Asia, where economic development is remarkable.
Also, the vegetarian population is 14% in the United States, 42% in India, and 10% in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Taiwan.

With the Tokyo Olympics approaching in 2020, the demand for food such as halal and vegetarian foods, which are their food culture, is rapidly increasing in Japan in response to such a historical and cultural background.

Our company started the restaurant business in 2001, and has developed cafes, bars, and restaurants in Shibuya, Shinjuku, Shinagawa, Shimokitazawa, and other areas.
At "Café Bohemia", which opened in 2013 with the theme of "A gypsy club reminiscent of a Middle Eastern resort!"

I sensed a strong demand for food culture that had never been seen before in Japan, such as the fact that every time the restaurant was fully booked as soon as reservations started.

In order to further accelerate this trend, we have published a recipe book that covers Turkish cuisine, which is now the world's number one halal advanced country, as well as unprecedented Lebanese and Israeli cuisine.
We aim to further develop Japanese food culture from Middle Eastern cuisine that is colorful and suitable for parties, and that can be easily prepared not only at restaurants but also at home.
