Shizuoka Gas operates Eneria Showrooms in three locations within the prefecture: Shizuoka City, Fuji City, and Shimizu Town, Sunto District, and conducts a variety of cooking classes for local residents.

Since 2018, in collaboration with Kirin Beverage, we have been holding regular courses unique to the Kingdom of Ingredients that use Shizuoka Food Selection certified products.
Participants are of all ages, both male and female, and it is so popular that there is a lottery every time.
So far, we have produced meat and seafood such as ``Fuji no Kuni Lively Pork,'' ``Refreshing Fuji Chicken,'' and ``Mt. Fuji Salmon,'' as well as ``Amera,'' ``Mishima Carrots,'' ``Hamamatsu Western Vegetable Parsley,'' and ``Shimizu Edamame (Komazu).'' We incorporate a wide variety of prefecture-produced ingredients into our recipes, including vegetables and mushrooms such as ``Ebi-imo'', ``Seisuke Donko'', and ``Champi Fuji'', as well as rice and eggs such as ``Izu no Megumi'' and ``Miyo Tamago''.

Meanwhile, the ``Withgas National Parent-Child Cooking Contest'' for elementary school students and their guardians not only focuses on food education, but also contributes to the promotion of local production for local consumption. The competition's judging criteria include "eco-friendliness," so it is natural that local ingredients will be featured. It is held once a year, and if you win the prefectural tournament, you will advance to the regional tournament and then the national tournament. Not only will the participating parents and children deepen their communication through cooking with flames, but it will also help promote Shizuoka, the food capital, nationwide. The Shizuoka Prefecture Gas Association, of which Shizuoka Gas Co., Ltd. is a member, has been holding the Shizuoka Prefecture Tournament every year since 1, and since 2007, the tournament has held the largest number of applicants in the country for nine consecutive years.

Nowadays, as the value of home-cooked meals is being reconsidered, the company's cooking classes are becoming even more meaningful, and the company has also started offering online courses. The company is accelerating activities that are conscious of the SDGs, such as starting a campaign to reduce food loss. Members of the company's customer design group said, ``We would like to listen sincerely to the voices of the local community, collaborate with companies and organizations, and enthusiastically take on new challenges that will help solve the problems of daily life.'' is shining brightly.
