The Request
A corporate client asked us to provide the sandwiches for an approx. 400-person party with drinks, held at an office building in Minami-Aoyama. Several food providers were involved; our part was large sandwich platters that would be easy to serve to a big crowd.
Our Delivery
Made with an airport lounge-style buffet in mind
The sandwiches were made with a buffet presentation in mind — the kind often seen in airport lounges — as the inspiration for how they would finally be served: easy-to-eat cuts, sorted by type and packed on large platters for delivery. The final buffet presentation at the venue was completed by the event and catering team.
24 platters, 960 pieces, made in-house
Three kinds — egg, tuna with lettuce, and ham and cheese — with 40 pieces per platter and 8 platters of each. Everything was made in our own bakery workshop, checked, wrapped platter by platter, covered with lids and packed into 5 cartons.
Our part of a larger food arrangement
Other food providers also served this event. URARA handled production, quality control, packing and direct delivery of the sandwich platters: we delivered them to the building's loading area within the requested 3:00–4:00 PM window and handed them over to the contact person.
After handoff, the event and catering team transferred the sandwiches to their own serving ware, arranged them at the venue and completed the buffet presentation. URARA did not operate the event or provide on-site serving staff.
In the same way, URARA can work as a food-production and delivery partner alongside event organizers and catering companies.
Prepared on a short lead time
This was a first order. The enquiry came about a week before the event, and the final menu was confirmed two days before delivery, including a menu change at that point. With about two days from final menu to delivery, we produced 24 platters / 960 pieces for an approx. 400-person party — starting from bread made from flour in our own bakery — and delivered them within the requested time window. This order combined a short lead time, a large group, in-house production and delivery at a set time.

Why This Delivery Format Works for International Groups
- 24 platters / 960 pieces from a single bakery order
- Works alongside event organizers and catering companies as a food-production and delivery partner
- Delivered directly within a set time window and handed over at the loading area
- Made, checked and packed in our own bakery workshop
For Event Organizers, Catering Companies and MICE Operators
Event organizers, catering companies, production companies, corporate event planners and MICE operators sometimes need a partner who can produce bread and sandwiches for a large group on a short timeline and deliver everything together by a set time. For this event, URARA joined the event team as the sandwich production partner, handling the sandwich production and delivery.
We are not a company that runs whole events. Think of us as an external production team that supports an event company's food production: a food-production and delivery partner that works alongside other food and catering companies.
We make the bread from flour in our own bakery and handle sandwich assembly, quality checks, packing and delivery to the designated location. Venue setup, serving and the final buffet presentation stay with the event team, so we can focus on making the food and delivering it reliably.
If you would like to hand over just the bread and sandwich part to a specialist, we can take on requests such as:
- Sandwich-only production orders
- Large-batch production for big groups
- Orders on a short lead time
- Delivery at a specified time
- Events where other food providers are also involved
- Production and delivery on the basis that plating is done at the venue
This is a past delivery example. Our current standard international delivery area is accommodation hotels in Tokyo, Yokohama and Kawasaki.
This was a corporate event in Tokyo, not a hotel delivery for a travel group. It is shown here as an example of our capacity for large events and buffet-style sandwich platters.
