ANA LIVE SHOPPING ~ANA X will livestream the charms of Odate City in Akita Prefecture, the birthplace of the famously faithful dog Hachiko, in July!~

ANA X Inc. (President and CEO: Kazuhiro Todoroki, Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter referred to as “ANA X”) will release the ANA LIVE SHOPPING service: Odate City, Akita Prefecture Edit at 14:00 on July 13 (Wednesday). This service enables customers to purchase famous products from around Japan in real time with live viewing.
The livestream will see manufacturers of magewappa (traditionally crafted cedar-wood items) and staff from the TOCHI-DOCHI (Note 1) store near Seijogakuen-mae Station introduce the appeal of famous products, tell the stories behind them, and provide a “meeting place” for good products and good people.
The Banshaku Evening Drinking Companion set, one of the products to be sold, will include a “World-first! Unique conical magewappa guinomi sake cup” created by long-time manufacturer Kurikyu, chicken gizzards glazed with salty tare sauce and lemon chicken skin made from Akita’s vaunted brand Pirunai chicken (derived from Hinai-Jidori chicken), a carefully-selected soy mayo (pouch) dressing, developed using an original method with soy milk from domestic soybeans without using any eggs, and a side-dish plate used onboard ANA aircraft.
Customers will also be able to ask questions of the distributors in real time during the livestream. We hope you will enjoy this two-way communication!
There will even be exciting events such as One-yen Purchase Time, which will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and a lottery (Note 2) through which customers can win ANA original products. We hope you are able to join the livestream and savor the charms of Odate City in Akita Prefecture.
