Celebrating 99 Store Renewals with a Special Event

In just 94 days, Garden Inc. has successfully renewed and opened a total of 99 hybrid restaurants combining Ikikakuya and Aburasoba. With the recent grand reopening of the Ikikakuya Hashimoto Store and Ikikakuya Stella Town Ito-Yokado Omiya Miyahara Store, the company is excited to announce this significant milestone.

To commemorate this achievement, a special event titled “99 Store Renewal Celebration Festival” will take place from August 3rd to 6th, 2026. During this four-day event, customers can enjoy Aburasoba (small, medium, and large sizes) at the special price of ¥682 (including tax: ¥750).

A Rapid Expansion

The journey began on April 28, when the first hybrid restaurant, the Ikikakuya Shibuya Center Street Store, reopened. Following this, the company accelerated the establishment of the hybrid model, reaching an impressive 99 locations in a remarkably short time frame.

The unique hybrid store strategy leverages existing restaurant locations near train stations and busy urban areas, enhancing the initial brand offerings by combining Ikikakuya’s popular ramen concept with Aburasoba’s flavorful dishes. This dual offering not only provides customers with more choices but also optimizes initial investment and fosters profitability in a shorter span, showcasing a promising business model for expansion.

Details of the Celebration Event

Between August 3rd and 6th, customers will find special pricing on Aburasoba at all hybrid restaurant locations. Here are the key details:

• - Price: ¥682 (tax included: ¥750)
• - Event Dates: August 3 (Monday) – August 6 (Thursday)
• - Participating Stores: The festival will apply to Ikikakuya x Aburasoba hybrid locations. A full list is available on the company website.

Aburasoba's Popular Offerings

One of the standout dishes featured during this event is the Aburasoba, crafted with carefully developed chewy medium-thick noodles paired with a rich and flavorful special sauce. It's a healthier option compared to traditional ramen, yet every bite is filled with satisfaction. The original price starts at ¥810 (including tax: ¥890).

Additionally, there's an exciting new topping option: Korean Seaweed with Onsen Egg Aburasoba. This combination enhances the dish with sweetness, saltiness, and a delightful texture that keeps customers coming back for more. Prices for this dish start at ¥1,037 (tax included: ¥1,140).

The charm of Aburasoba lies not only in its core flavors but also in the variety of toppings and seasonings that allow customers to craft their perfect dish. With the reopening, new topping options such as Spicy Sauce, Onsen Eggs, Fried Onion, and a variety of seasonings like Cajun, Curry Powder, and Seaweed Flakes have been introduced, enriching the customer experience.
