The McDonald’s food<br />
service counter at the IBC<br />
262<br />
service companies, was reinforced by staff employed<br />
on part-time contracts and culinary<br />
school students to make a total of 1,442 people<br />
in food services.<br />
Menu<br />
The following considerations were given<br />
priority in developing menus:<br />
• Olympic Village Restaurant<br />
- Respecting food and religious customs of<br />
the participating countries and regions<br />
- Providing a wide range of menus with a variety<br />
of food items<br />
- Providing the nutrition necessary for athletes<br />
- Including Japanese foods to introduce food<br />
customs of the host country<br />
Typically Japanese foods such as sushi, tempura,<br />
and sukiyaki were offered on the menu,<br />
and Nagano specialities such as apples and<br />
mushrooms were used as ingredients in many<br />
items. Stands offering local delicacies such as<br />
soba noodles and oyaki buns were also set up.<br />
All these foods were a hit with village residents,<br />
with udon noodles proving particularly popular.<br />
Athletes and officials whose schedules took<br />
them away from the village at meal times, were<br />
provided with pasta lunches packed in heat-generating<br />
boxes.<br />
The Chefs de Mission gave high marks for<br />
food services at the Olympic Village, and suggested<br />
the restaurant serve as a model for future<br />
Games.<br />
• Cafeterias at the IBC, MPC, and Media<br />
Villages<br />
In principle, the menu was the same as that<br />
at the Olympic Village, and comprised 65%<br />
western cuisine, 25% Japanese cuisine, and<br />
10% Chinese cuisine.<br />
• IBC, MPC, Media Village Restaurants<br />
The menu consisted primarily of western<br />
foods made from local Nagano ingredients as<br />
well as ingredients from other regions of<br />
Japan. The type of food served in restaurants<br />
near these facilities was also taken into consideration.<br />
• Media Cafés<br />
Depending on the size of the facility, food<br />
service was provided in either convenience<br />
store style, or snack bar style.<br />
Sponsors<br />
Sponsors also assisted in providing food services<br />
by setting up their own outlets.<br />
McDonald’s set up food service counters at the<br />
Olympic Village, IBC, and MPC, while Kirin<br />
Beer set up a bar in the IBC.
