Shabu-Yo Introduces Its Long-Awaited Birthday Coupon
Skylark Restaurants Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Musashino City, Tokyo; President Takashi Nakajima), part of the Skylark Group, will introduce a brand-new birthday coupon for its all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu chain “Shabu-Yo” starting Tuesday, September 1, 2026, via the official Skylark app. The offer is valid at all Shabu-Yo locations and comes as a double benefit: a free Birthday Mini Cream Puff Cake and a 10% off coupon usable for groups of up to six people.
Benefit 1: A Free Birthday Mini Cream Puff Cake
Redeeming the birthday coupon gets you a Birthday Mini Cream Puff Cake complete with a celebratory pick. Ordering is simple: just enter the coupon number shown in the Skylark app into the digital menu tablet at your table. Each coupon may be used once and is good for one cake.
You can enjoy it as is, but Shabu-Yo also recommends customizing it at the restaurant’s dessert bar to create your own original version. Decorating it together with family or friends becomes part of the birthday memory itself.
Recommended Customizations
- Place it in a parfait cup and swirl soft serve ice cream on top for a parfait-style dessert
- Add corn flakes for extra crunch
- Write a name around the plate with dessert sauce
- Finish with colorful chocolate sprinkles
Benefit 2: 10% Off for Groups of Up to Six
The second perk is a 10% off coupon valid any time during your birthday month. Because it covers up to six people in one group, it is ideal for birthday parties with family or friends. It can also be used on the same day as the free cake coupon, making the offer truly “double the value.”
To use it, simply have the barcode displayed in the Skylark app scanned at checkout.
- Each coupon may be used only once
- Valid for dine-in only
- Cannot be combined with owner discount tickets, family discount tickets, or other percentage-based discounts
How to Get the Coupon in Three Steps
- Step 1: Download the Skylark app
- Step 2: Register your birthday in the app
- Step 3: On the first day of your birthday month, the coupon appears in the app
The app also delivers app-exclusive coupons and lets you earn and redeem Skylark points, so registering ahead of your birthday month is recommended.
Born from the Fan Community
The idea for the birthday coupon came from “Oyasai Gakko Shabusha-bu,” the Shabu-Yo fan community launched in June 2023. Through new broth development projects and regular roundtable discussions, the brand incorporates fan feedback into its menus and services. Because requests for a birthday benefit were especially strong during these roundtables, the company decided to make it a reality — a project shaped directly by customer voices.
