Cultivated seafood start-up Forsea Foods Ltd. put its cell-cultivated freshwater eel unagi creation to the test—the taste test, that is. The cultivated seafood start-up hosted an official tasting of its cultured freshwater eel at the chic Tel-Aviv restaurant ‘a’ and welcomed an intimate gathering of 40 guests. The exclusive group included investors, journalists, and key opinion leaders in the food industry, as well as representatives from the Japanese embassy and various Japanese food  companies based in Israel.

We love eel and the fact that we better can’t eat it due to the fact it’s an endangered species, is such a pity. That’s why we love the idea of cell-cultivated eel unagi! Forsea Foods thinks that its debut product will be primed for commercial roll-out by 2026 and is currently forging connections with strategic partners in Japan. More details in this article and in the article we wrote about a tasting in Japan of the same eel in January 2024!

In the hospitality industry where efficiency and customer satisfaction are essential, the Dutch initiative Menukiezen.nl (MenuChoice) offers a tool for streamlining group menus. Their solution supports restaurants, cafés and caterers in meeting the varying expectations of large groups of guests. Restaurant supply the link with the guest so they can share it with the group of people they invited. For example, a number of restaurants now have 3 to 4 fixed menus in the system. The person organizing the dinner chooses the menu and shares the link with his or her guests. For the restaurant, it’s just the push of a button. It’s similar to a date picker but for menu choices!
