Ajinomoto commercials. A collection of Cook Do and Knorr commercials (51–60)

Ajinomoto Holiday Brand MovieAsami Imajuku

It’s a day off.™ Brand Movie 15-second TV commercial

In the commercial for Ajinomoto’s dashi seasoning “Kyujitsu Dashi,” model Asami Imajuku appears, and it shows her actually cooking with Kyujitsu Dashi.

Ajinomoto Co. Consommé “More, please! Hearty Meat and Vegetable Consommé Soup” VersionRiisa Naka

"AJINOMOTO KK Consommé" Refill! Hearty Meat and Vegetable Consommé Soup TV Commercial 30s starring Riisa Naka

This commercial, featuring Riisa Naka in the role of a mother, is for Ajinomoto’s consomme.

It shows her quickly preparing a soup packed with meat and vegetables using consomme, and serving it to her children.

The kids eat with great appetite and say, “More, please!” Watching this ad makes you imagine, “With Ajinomoto’s consomme, you can easily make delicious dishes.”

Ajinomoto Seto no Honjio ‘Seto no Shio-ani: Pickled Plum’ Edition

“Seto no Honjio®” Seto no Shio Bro — Pickled Plum Edition (15 seconds)

This is a commercial for Seto no Honjio, a 100% domestically sourced salt released by Ajinomoto.

The ad is done in an animated style and uses a song to promote how perfect Seto no Honjio is for making umeboshi (pickled plums).

The music playing in the commercial is an original piece written specifically for this ad.

Its enka-like melody really lifts your spirits when you listen to it!

AJINOMOTO Cook Do Oyster Sauce “All” Version / “Bottle Dance” VersionTatsuya Fujiwara

A series of commercials for Ajinomoto Cook Do Oyster Sauce featuring Tatsuya Fujiwara.

In the “Everything” version, oyster sauce is used in dishes where you’d think, “Really, in that too?” and you can enjoy the many expressions on Fujiwara’s face as he tastes them.

The “Bottle Dance” version is strikingly surreal—only the ominously moving oyster sauce bottle is shown, which oddly makes it all the more memorable.

Ajinomoto commercials. A collection of Cook Do and Knorr commercials (61–70)

Ajinomoto CookDo ‘Twice-Cooked Pork: You Can’t Stop Eating Rice’ version / ‘Beef and Green Pepper Stir-Fry: You Can’t Stop Eating Rice’ versionHiroshi Abe, Kurumi Inagaki

This is a commercial for Ajinomoto’s Cook Do series featuring Twice-Cooked Pork (Hui Guo Rou) and Pepper Steak (Chinjao Rosu).

In the ad, Hiroshi Abe and Kurumi Inagaki are shown heartily eating white rice alongside the Twice-Cooked Pork and Pepper Steak.

Both dishes have a bold, robust flavor, so they seem like a perfect match for plain white rice.

It’s the kind of commercial that makes you hungry just watching it.

Ajinomoto Maru Torigara Soup: “Grilled White Udon with Whole Chicken Broth” / “Salad with Whole Chicken Broth”Mana Ashida

In the Ajinomoto Maru Tori Gara Soup commercials, Mana Ashida turns into a cat! The two ads introduced here use Maru Tori Gara Soup to make yaki udon and a broccoli salad, and Mana’s delighted reaction as she eats the finished dishes really stands out.

She’s wearing cat ears, and her lines and gestures are cat-like as well, so be sure to watch for that.

They all look incredibly delicious, and many viewers probably thought, “I’ll pick one up if I see it at the supermarket.”
