Tsukiji Gindaco, the beloved takoyaki chain, is gearing up for its 28th anniversary with a special celebration called the "Daishōgyōsai," kicking off from March 5 to March 14, 2025. To mark this milestone, diners can enjoy their most popular item, "Zettai Umai!! Takoyaki" (eight pieces), at a thrilling price of 390 yen (tax excluded) during the first three days of the event.
The promotion not only celebrates the chain's storied history but also highlights its commitment to customer appreciation. For those who take it to go, the takoyaki will cost 421 yen, and dining inside will be priced at 429 yen. This is a significant discount from the regular prices of 620 yen for takeout and 682 yen for dine-in, offering savings of over 230 yen. The deal runs from March 5 through March 7, making this limited-time offer too good to pass up for takoyaki lovers.
Following the initial sale, Tsukiji Gindaco will have two more stages to their anniversary celebration. The second phase on March 8 and 9 will reward customers with double and triple points on their Gindaco stamp cards. On March 8, coinciding with its usual double stamp day, customers can earn triple points, enhancing the rewards for those who purchase any takoyaki items of six pieces or more. The following day on March 9, customers will earn double points again, ensuring customers are drawn back to enjoy their favorite dish.
Finally, on the actual anniversary date of March 14, customers will also be treated to double stamp earning opportunities. This additional incentive encourages diners to indulge on the celebration's peak day, reflecting the brand's emphasis on customer satisfaction and loyalty.
"At Tsukiji Gindaco, we prioritize our customers above all else," said the representative of Hotland, the parent company behind the takoyaki chain. "Our anniversary events showcase our gratitude and commitment to delivering the best culinary experience. We want every visitor to enjoy our famous takoyaki as much as we love serving them."
The 28th anniversary festival has become somewhat of a tradition for Gindaco, dating back to its very first restaurant opened on March 14, 1997, now closed. To this day, enthusiasts enjoy this distinctively crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside takoyaki, developed with the special recipe honed for decades.
Additionally, during this festival, various tasty toppings—ranging from green onion to cheese mentaiko—will be available, allowing customers to customize their takoyaki experience fully. Gindaco’s commitment to quality and flavor remains unwavering, earning it fans across the country who can't wait to partake once again.
Both returning customers and newcomers alike can easily find participating locations on Gindaco's official website, which offers specifics about the campaign and the restaurants involved. Gindaco encourages all takoyaki lovers to join them to experience these special offers firsthand.
With the combination of tantalizing prices, limited-time offers, and the joyous atmosphere surrounding the anniversary, the upcoming days at Tsukiji Gindaco promise to be unforgettable. Whether enjoyed alone or shared among friends, the iconic takoyaki will not only be nourishing but also symbolize the warmth and joy of culinary celebration. It's time to indulge as the grand takoyaki event approaches!
Tsukiji Gindaco’s anniversary is not just about enjoying delicious food, but also about the shared memories created over the years through good company and good eats. So mark the dates, prepare your appetite, and head to your nearest Gindaco store to partake!
