LIVES KITCHEN
“Work, Eat, Laugh“
LIVES Food Truck Project
LIVES KITCHEN
The LIVES Food Truck Project, which has been a popular lunch destination in Tokyo since 2018, is dedicated to "work, eat, and laugh" for people with disabilities. The purpose of the LIVES Food Truck, where staff with disabilities and volunteers enjoy working together, is to convey the importance of building deep human relationships with each other, regardless of disability, and to contribute to raising social awareness to create a working and living environment that is inclusive of everyone. For the staff working here, it is also a place where they can take the next step toward employment.

DEAN & DELUCA
Chef's Lunch Box
■ Monthly Menu: August
Butter Chicken Curry
Supervised by Chef Sakai, DEAN ＆ DELUCA
Butter Chicken Curry, also known as Tikka Masala, is one of the most popular and widely loved Indian curries in Japan. This mild and flavorful chicken curry is enriched with cashew nut paste and butter, creating a rich and creamy taste that appeals to a wide range of palates. It is served with red onion achar (Indian-style pickles) and a kale and quinoa salad on the side.
■ LIVES Kitchen Original Keema Curry
LIVES KITCHEN's popular Keema Curry served with carrot and cabbage salad.
A New Phase at Our 5th Anniversary Milestone!
In 2023, as we marked the 5th anniversary of our activities, we renewed the project with the hope of spreading this initiative to an even greater number of people.
As part of this new phase, we welcomed a new partner, DEAN & DELUCA, a global food boutique, and have been working together to further develop the initiative.
With the LIVES Food Truck as a starting point, we aim to create new value and possibilities by bringing together cooks, chefs, and people from diverse backgrounds, with the vision of creating an inclusive society.
Together with DEAN & DELUCA, which aims to be a food platform, and restaurant chefs from various genres, we offer the “Chef’s Lunch Box,” a delicious and thoughtfully created lunch box.
The individuality of each person shines through, with everyone working together, eating together, and laughing together. Your generous support will be a big step towards a more inclusive society.
Please support LIVES Kitchen in connecting local communities through “eating together.”
