About Dely
Dely is a Japanese company that operates several online platforms. Its main service is "Kurashiru," a recipe video platform that provides users with cooking instructions and ideas. The company also runs "TRILL," a lifestyle media platform that offers content on various topics, including fashion, beauty, and travel.
In addition to these platforms, Dely has a reward service called "Kurashiru Reward," which allows users to earn points by uploading photos of their culinary creations.
