Kuradashi Tamaplaza Terrace Store Reopening

On April 22, 2026, the Kuradashi store located in Tamaplaza Terrace, Aoba Ward, Yokohama, will celebrate its grand reopening following extensive renovations. This marks the first permanent store for Kuradashi, a social good market operated by Kuradashi, Inc. headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, under the leadership of CEO Kohei Kawamura.

The updated store promises a richer shopping experience, featuring an expanded range of products that enhance the connection to social contributions. Customers can expect an enjoyable treasure-hunting sensation while shopping, discovering both savings for their households and valuable contributions to society. To kick off the reopening, an exciting sale will run for three days, offering a 10% discount on purchases over 1,200 yen.

Background of the Renovation

Kuradashi’s mission is clear: to create a better future through good business practices. The company is committed to addressing various social challenges by turning them into value. Their core initiative revolves around reducing food waste through Kuradashi Food, a concept aimed at selling food that, despite being perfectly edible, might otherwise be discarded.

Part of the revenue from Kuradashi goes towards supporting various social contribution organizations focused on environmental protection and disaster assistance. Since its inception in May 2023, the Tamaplaza Terrace store has served as a platform for community members to engage in daily social contributions, facilitating a cumulative support amount of 2.45 million yen.

Responsive to customer feedback, which highlighted desires for a greater variety of choices and a more relaxed shopping environment, the renovated store is designed to be more user-friendly and accessible.

Key Features of the Renovation

1. Expanded Product Line
With the increase in shelf space and frozen product displays, the store now boasts a wider selection of food items and daily necessities. This enhancement aims to create a more thrilling shopping atmosphere reminiscent of a treasure hunt, where customers can enjoy an even more diverse choice of products.

2. Highlighting Contributions
To foster a clearer understanding of the societal impact behind their purchases, the store has relocated signage displaying information about beneficiaries and total support received to a visible area near the checkout. This allows customers to see firsthand how their shopping choices contribute to social causes, enhancing their sense of both financial savings and social good.
