Since 2015, the Deutsche Schule Tokyo Yokohama has provided food services that honor our cultural roots while embracing the best of Japanese local produce. Serving 600 students from early years through senior school, our independent kitchen creates hearty, wholesome meals prepared with care and precision that represent our community's values. We believe authentic flavors and thoughtful adaptation to life in Japan aren't contradictory—they strengthen each other. Our commitment to independent operations allows us to maintain quality and cultural authenticity while building strong relationships with local suppliers.

THE SCHOOL FOOD COLLECTIVE / DSTY / MEMBER SINCE 2025
The School Food Collective connects independent school caterers across Japan through shared standards, developing supplier relationships, and peer support.
Together, we're proving that operators focused on a single school can outperform corporate caterers: meals prepared from scratch, menus that respond to real feedback, and food service rooted in community rather than contracts.
