The Tokyo final stage was contested by 14 teams of parent-child pairs, all winners of the regionals, in a heated and impressive match in which all teams presented the favorite dish of the family. The main valuation bases were teamwork between parent and child, the taste of the dish, and the original idea that each family put into cooking. The Grand Prix was won by "Foods from my good hometown Niigata" by Team Horii. Among the other participants, some teams applied with using traditional foods and cooking methods. With participating in this contest, many teams learned an importance of local production for local consumption, local foods, and traditional dishes. The With Gas Nationwide Family Cooking Contest offers participants an opportunity to learn cooking in a fun way and to casually experience Shokuiku, or food education. The Japan Gas Association is actively contributing to society through Shokuiku activities and by running campaigns to widely promote "Life with Gas" to families, in addition to supporting wider use of city gas.
