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. The company's business model likely revolves around advertising revenue from its media platforms and potentially partnerships with food and lifestyle brands. Dely is set to change its name to Kurashiru Co., Ltd. in October 2025, a move that will align the company's name with its most recognizable brand.
