Ushisuke is a pet-friendly yakiniku restaurant in Yokohama Tokyo. In Japan, the New Year celebrations often entail an osechi-ryori set. This traditional set comprises a selection of dishes put together in an elaborately decorate stacked bento box. Each dish is carefully selected to bring in luck for the new year.
Ushisuke is offering a dog-friendly New Year bento box, produced by With Pet Family Co. The osechi-ryori set includes delicious dog food such as roast beef, sweet potatoes, and datemaki-style fish cakes. The container resembles the traditional bento box, bringing a sense of celebration to the pet's meal. Each ingredient was carefully selected to offer dogs immunity-supporting foods and help improve and celebrate their overall health.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Pet-friendly Meal Sets
- Restaurants and pet food manufacturers can innovate by offering more holiday-themed pet meal sets, elevating pet dining experience during seasonal festivities.
- Functional Pet Ingredients
- Pet food producers can develop more functional, breed-specific ingredients to address specific pet health concerns, offering nutrition tailored to pets' individual needs and preferences.
- Humanization of Pet Food
- Changing consumer attitudes towards pets as family members mean pet food producers can leverage elaborate packaging and premium ingredients to make pet food more indulgent and human-like.
Sectors Adopting This
- Pet Food Manufacturing
