HENNGE and CRAZY KITCHEN Jointly Develop the “SaaS Bento”, Full of Menu Items with Pun-based Jokes of Information System-related Words2022.07.22

HENNGE K.K. (headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo, Representative Director, Chief Executive Officer: Kazuhiro Ogura, "HENNGE") is pleased to announce that it has jointly developed the “SaaS Bento (lunchbox)” with CRAZY KITCHEN (headquarters: Shinagawa, Tokyo, Chief Executive Officer and Founder: Anry Tsuchiya, "CRAZY KITCHEN"), which is a subsidiary of Oisix ra daichi Inc., providing order-made catering services and so on. The menu items of SaaS Bento symbolize typical challenges of the Information System Divisions at companies in general.

■Background
・As a conversation piece
Due to the covid pandemic, we have fewer opportunities for social gatherings and to enjoy food together with other people. While it is not easy to meet with others even to exchange information and therefore such occasions are limited under the current environment these days, HENNGE came up with an idea that if it created a fun lunch box with the menu symbolizing typical challenges at the Information System Divisions at companies, it will serve as a conversation piece during lunch, and people will fully enjoy such limited occasion, while paying attention not to spread infections.

・The lunch box represents “Transformation” and “Challenge”
HENNGE’s company name originates from Japanese words, “HENNKA (transformation)” and “Challenge”, and the company is committed to pursue them. Creating such a lunch box was an unprecedented move for HENNGE, representing such a company’s spirit.

■Overview
Name: SaaS Bento
Origin of the Name: It is named as “System aru aru Shiromeshi”, meaning “white rice accompanied by the menu items representing typical challenges related to information systems” in Japanese and their initial characters are read as “SaaS”, as HENNGE specializes in providing SaaS（Software as a Service）.
Idea: The menu items are named so that people who work at the Information System Divisions would smile when they see them. Lots of menu items are Japanese puns of the Information System-related vocabularies, and they are served with white rice.

Menu
・Marinated and fried Saba (“Saba” is a Japanese word for mackerel, which sounds similar to “server” pronounced in Japanese)
・Stir-fried Spam and bitter melon (Spam for canned cooked pork and unsolicited annoying mass emails)
・Candied fish with almonds, “Almond Fishing” (Fishing for phishing)
・Cloud Kimpira (Udo plant braised in sweet soy sauce)
・Security Pickles (Kyuri is a Japanese word for cucumber, and it is pickled with tea leaves)
・PPAP Omelet (sweet omelet with pineapple and apple: PPAP stands for a file protection method to send zip files and their passwords by separate emails)
・Chicken Confit (Confit sounds like “Config=Configuration” pronounced in Japanese)
・Croquette with Open Sauce (pronunciation of “open sauce” in Japanese resembles “open source”)
*Menu items may be changed depending on the availability of ingredients and so on.

■Availability
The lunchbox will be available to HENNGE One users and HENNGE One partners. Details will be announced as soon as they become available.
