This round of affordable breakfast is once again sponsored by the Tanaka Memorial Foundation through the Tohoku University Fund.

The Tonjinosui pork used in the meals is donated by Hayashi Farm Co. Ltd. and Gunma Meat Co. Ltd., whose presidents are Tohoku University alumni. The Frugra® is donated by Calbee Co., Ltd, and the Hinai-jidori chicken is provided by JA Zennoh Kumiai Shiryo Co., Ltd. Other generous sponsors include Aoki Fruit Co., Ltd., medical equipment distributors Tesco Co., Ltd. and Fuji Sangyo Co., Ltd.

Tohoku University began this 100-yen breakfast programme in spring 2021 to "fill the hearts and stomachs of students" and support those financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The programme has since grown in scope and popularity and continues to be an important part of the Tohoku University Alumni Association's "Support Student Life!" campaign.
