October 4th: Gourmet Delivery Day
Every year on October 4th, food lovers across Japan come together to celebrate
Gourmet Delivery Day, a special occasion created by Otoriyose Net, the country’s largest gourmet delivery information website, operated by
Island Inc. Located in the heart of Shibuya, Tokyo, the site aims to connect food enthusiasts with unique and delicious products from all over the nation.
Why October 4th?
The date was chosen for its phonetic play in Japanese, where “Oto (10) - Riyo (4) - Se” symbolizes
takoyaki or “gourmet delivery”. This clever twist highlights the joy of delicious food, particularly as October is a month known for its abundance of seasonal delicacies. To make this day special, Otoriyose Net has set up a promotional campaign to engage more people with the wide variety of gourmet items available for order.
