Japan summer food promotion wave adds steak offers

Overview

The summer‑season promotion wave that began in mid‑June continued into July with new limited‑edition bundles. Grill chain Niku Sho Sakai launched a ¥3,000 summer fukubukuro on 15 July at two Hachioji stores, containing ¥4,000 worth of restaurant coupons split into two ¥2,000 portions usable from August to December, plus a tote bag, branded miso sauce, a tumbler and an ice‑cream spoon. Only 20 bags per store are available. Fast‑food chain Nakau introduced its own nationwide fukubukuro on 17 July, also priced at ¥3,000 and packed with ¥3,000 in ¥200 coupons (15 tickets) valid through 31 December, plus a sudachi‑themed eco‑bag, a clear‑bottle water bottle and a cooling towel. Sales are limited to one bag per customer and are made on‑site. Retailer Seijo Ishii added a separate Summer Fukubukuro 2026, offering 20 limited‑edition bags that include a specially designed cooler bag, ready‑to‑eat bistro‑style dishes, sweets, drinks and optional wine or coffee pairings. Reservations began 1 July and are accepted online via Seijo Ishii’s site and major marketplaces such as Rakuten, Yahoo! Shopping, au Pay Market, d‑shopping, ANA Mall, JAL Mall and JRE Mall, with delivery nationwide until the end of July and some direct‑to‑kitchen deliveries ending 31 July. The reservation cut‑off is 9 August, and the flagship bistro‑dish set sold over 300 units in its first week. Hotel Grand Hills Shizuoka offered a web‑only lunch and dinner buffet discount from 23 July to 30 July, reducing lunch prices by ¥400 and dinner prices by 15 %. Meat Shou Sakai ran a 90‑minute all‑drink‑all‑you‑can promotion from 21 July to 24 July, cutting the unlimited‑drink price to ¥999 (soft‑drink only ¥250). Both deals required online or phone reservations and could not be combined with other coupons, extending the summer‑time discount push across Japanese restaurants.
