Extreme heatwaves drive concerns and shifts in summer consumption

Extreme heat continues to affect various regions, with temperatures frequently exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. The persistent high temperatures have raised concerns regarding heatstroke and the physical toll on individuals, particularly those recovering from disasters in areas like Kyushu.

In response to the intense summer heat, there is an increasing reliance on food delivery services like Uber Eats to avoid going outdoors. Popular summer food options from retailers such as Seijo Ishii, including chilled pasta, cold tofu with summer vegetables, and trending desserts like Dubai chocolate-style mochi, are being utilized as a means to manage nutrition and stay cool during the heatwave.
