Things to Know Before You Go
- One random item is given per eligible product; designs cannot be chosen.
- All items end once their goods sell out, including at the special collab stores.
- Prices vary by store, and takeout is not available. Eligible drinks may differ at some locations.
- Regular versions without goods (Tuna and Grated Yam Gunkan, Egg Salad Gunkan, the Jibun de Tsukuro Set and soft drinks) are also on the menu, so check the item name when ordering.
- Sushiro asks customers to refrain from bulk buying, reselling for profit, ordering multiple goods items per person, and trading, handing over, lying in wait or approaching other customers in stores.
- To reduce food waste, please order only what you can finish.
- After launch, availability and prices at each store can be checked on the Sushiro app and website.
All goods are limited in quantity, so it pays to check early.
