“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.

Bakery Items
 

Salt Sausage Roll 

A premium savory bread featuring a juicy sausage wrapped in focaccia dough made from carefully selected wheat, olive oil, and fresh cream, then baked to aromatic perfection. The touch of crystal salt enhances the deliciousness, delivering a truly indulgent bite.

Keema Curry Bread 

Homemade keema curry, simmered with onions, carrots, chickpeas, and raisins, is generously stuffed into focaccia dough and deep-fried. This adult-style curry bread offers a perfect balance of deep, authentic spice and the natural sweetness of vegetables, providing just the right kick.

Juicy Banana Muffin

Made with grapeseed oil instead of butter, the batter stays moist even over time. Mashed banana — added in equal weight to the flour — and a final touch of orange juice soaked in after baking make this a delightfully juicy treat.

Our Project's Renewal, and 5th Anniversary!
Get involved today and help us move forward!

As we celebrated the 5th anniversary of our activities, we renewed our project with the hope of spreading this initiative to an even greater number of people.

For this new project, we have welcomed a new partner, DEAN & DELUCA, a global food boutique, and will be working with collaboration.

With the LIVES food truck as a starting point, we aim to be a positive step forward, creating new value and change, by bringing together cooks, chefs and people from diverse backgrounds with the vision of creating an inclusive society.
