Original release notes

We’ve added a Food Base category between the food category and menu name.
Now, for example, after selecting “Tonkotsu Ramen,”
you can choose local specialties like Hakata Ramen or Kurume Ramen!
Similarly, after selecting “Sashimi” or “Mackerel,”
you can further choose Goma Saba (Sesame Mackerel)—that’s the idea!
