Expanding Food Waste Reduction Efforts in Japan

In a notable move towards combating food waste, Too Good To Go, a leading food waste reduction application based in Denmark, has announced an expansion of its services in partnership with Kappa Sushi. Effective from June 4, 2026, this initiative will roll out to 62 Kappa Sushi locations throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area and surrounding prefectures. This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between delicious food that would otherwise go to waste and customers looking for great deals on fresh sushi and side dishes.

With Too Good To Go being recognized as having the highest number of users among food waste apps globally, this partnership is significant in making sustainable choices more accessible to consumers. Kappa Sushi, known for its innovative take on conveyor belt sushi, test-launched the app in two of its Tokyo locations in March 2026. The initiative has since sparked interest among primarily urban customers and showcases Kappa Sushi's commitment to social responsibility through sustainable practices.

Service Expansion Overview

Alongside the current offerings in Tokyo, Kappa Sushi will implement Too Good To Go services at various stages:

• - Tokyo: Full implementation across 12 locations starting June 4.
• - Kanagawa: 15 locations from June 4.
• - Saitama: 19 locations from June 15.
• - Chiba: 16 locations from June 24.

This coverage means that all Kappa Sushi outlets within the Tokyo area will eventually provide consumers with options to procure leftover dishes at reduced prices, thereby contributing to the reduction of excess food production.
