We would like to inform you about the "Staguru New Hero General Election" to be held on Wednesday, May 6 (holiday) during the Meiji Yasuda J1 Centennial League Regional League Round EAST Matchday 15 against Mito HollyHock.
The three major gourmet dishes that reign supreme at Mercari Stadium are "Ham Yaki," "Motsuni," and "Harami Meshi." In this "Staguru New Hero General Election," these three dishes will be excluded as "Hall of Fame" entries, and from the other entry menus, we will select the next "New Hero" through your votes.
Your vote will help us find the next ace.
Don't just stick to your "usual" – find your new favorite taste!
