Kura and USDA Launch Promotional Campaign with American Products
Kurâ, a São Paulo Japanese restaurant, created an obentô inspired by American gastronomic culture in a project developed in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The initiative is part of the #USfoodEXPERIENCE campaign, promoting U.S. cuisine and products. The menu includes products from different American regions, such as wild sockeye salmon, black cod (known as Alaskan gindara), ikura (salmon roe), California rice, pistachios, to be accompanied with sakes, beers, wines, or spirits. On the iFood platform, the customer will order the obentô #USfoodEXPERIENCE box, specially designed for this campaign. The campaign started on January 15 and will be available for lunch and dinner, primarily for delivery orders.
