Just Got Back from a Trip? Quick & Delicious Dinners Ready in 15 Minutes
After a trip or a visit home, everyone comes back exhausted. You know you need to eat, but you don't have the energy to go grocery shopping—or even to cook. Sound familiar?
That's where Seven Premium comes to the rescue. In this article, we follow two households with different lifestyles as they prepare dinner after returning home. See how they put together satisfying evening meals in just 15 minutes, making the transition from travel to home as easy and stress-free as possible.
Case 1: Exhausted, But Still Want a Warm, Comforting Meal!
After returning home from a three-night, four-day overseas trip with friends, she finds herself feeling hungry despite having eaten the in-flight meal. Perhaps the sense of relief from being back home has brought back her appetite.
"I have work again tomorrow. I just want to eat something as quickly as possible and get some proper rest."
On this kind of night after a trip, the goal is to make a simple meal without putting too much pressure on yourself.
"I want something warm, but I'm not really in the mood for instant noodles..."
After checking the cupboard, she opens the freezer and discovers "Seven Premium Brown Rice Balls".
There’s also "Seven Premium Miso Soup with Pork" in the refrigerator—the perfect companion to the rice balls.
"Oh right, I bought these before my trip," she remembers.
Having just returned from an overseas vacation, she was craving Japanese food more than ever. This is one of those moments when you truly appreciate having these convenient meal options stocked at home.
9:00 PM: Time to Heat Things Up
Cooking Steps
1. Take the rice ball out of the bag.
2. Microwave it right on the tray!
3. Microwave the miso soup right in the pouch!
4. Plate and serve!
She takes the frozen rice ball out of its bag, leaves it on its tray without plastic wrap, and microwaves it for 3 minutes and 10 seconds. While it heats up, she changes into comfy loungewear.

Next, she heats the miso soup in the bag for 2 minutes and 20 seconds. As soon as it is poured into a bowl, the comforting aroma of dashi gently fills the air.
It feels as though the fatigue from the trip is slowly melting away.
9:10 PM: Dinner Is Ready in No Time!
9:12 PM: Time to Dig In♪
With the first sip of the Miso Soup with Pork, the rich flavor of the dashi and the natural sweetness of the vegetables gently spread through her body.
It pairs perfectly with the Brown Rice Balls, which have a pleasantly chewy texture.
"Ahh... this is so comforting..."
After taking a moment to enjoy a warm meal, she feels like she finally has enough energy to finish unpacking her luggage.
Case 2: "Mom, I'm Hungry!" — A Must-Win Battle
On their way home from visiting family, with their house practically in sight, the kids start up a full chorus of "We're hungry!"
To avoid keeping them waiting, the goal is to have dinner ready and say "Let's eat!" within 15 minutes of arriving home.
The moment they walk through the door, the battle plan for dinner prep kicks into high gear!
Cooking Steps
1. Heat the curry pouches together in boiling water.
2. Microwave the rice!
3. Simply microwave the hamburger steaks!
4. Plate and serve!
7:00 PM: Arriving Home
As soon as they get home, Mom fills a pot with water and starts heating it up.
For dinner, the adults will have "SEVEN PREMIUM GOLD BEEF CURRY", while the kids will enjoy "Seven Premium Beef Curry - Mild" topped with "Seven Premium Hamburg Steaks".
It's a menu that makes everyone in the family happy.
7:05 PM: Heating Begins with Perfect Teamwork
Once the water comes to a boil and the curry starts heating in the hot water bath, Dad finishes bringing in the luggage and joins in.
He takes out four packs of microwavable rice from the cupboard and heats them in the microwave for 2 minutes each.
7:11 PM: A Smooth Team Effort to Serve Dinner
Once the curry is heated, Dad pours it over the warm rice. The rich, spicy aroma fills the room, instantly making everyone even hungrier.
Meanwhile, Mom plates the "Seven Premium Burdock Salad". Since it’s ready to serve straight from the package, it’s an easy way to add vegetables to the meal.
"Now we’ve got our veggies covered, too!"
SEVEN PREMIUM GOLD BEEF CURRY and Seven Premium Burdock Salad
(Two packs of Burdock Salad were used for a family of four.)
7:13 PM: The Final Touch!
Finally, Mom heats up two frozen hamburg steaks and adds them as toppings to the kids’ curry. Dinner is complete!
*Each hamburger steak requires 1 minute and 20 seconds of heating. Please check the instructions on the product package before heating.
7:16 PM: Dinner Time for the Whole Family!
A warm, complete dinner for a family of four in just 16 minutes! Without breaking a sweat, dinner was on the table in the blink of an eye.
Two packs of burdock salad—enough for four servings.
"Wow, there's a hamburger steak on top!"
The kids happily pick up their spoons, excited to see their favorite combination of curry and hamburger steak.
Meanwhile, the adults finally get to relax with "GOLD BEEF CURRY". The tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef and the deep, rich flavor created by aromatic vegetables blend together perfectly, bringing smiles to their faces with every bite.
