Explore the Dynamics of Support and Indulgence at SatoFuru Marche

As inflation continues to make headlines, many consumers are reevaluating their spending habits, especially regarding hometown tax contributions. In response to these changing needs, the SatoFuru company, which manages the popular online portal for hometown donations, is organizing a special event called "SatoFuru Marche". This event will take place at the Futako Tamagawa Rize Galleria from December 9 to December 12, 2025, offering an opportunity for contributors to navigate between supporting essential needs and enjoying small luxuries.

The Growing Need for Everyday Support and Indulgence

According to SatoFuru's latest report on the top donation gifts for 2025, we see a significant shift in the types of gifts being chosen as people adapt to higher living costs. The popularity of gifts considered as essential support—such as bulk items and daily necessities—has surged, indicating a strong demand for practical contributions. Conversely, there's also a desire for indulgence, reflected in the rise of luxury items like thick-cut beef tongue and eel, as people look for ways to treat themselves amidst financial challenges. This phenomenon showcases a clear trend toward what the company describes as “shifting consumption habits.”

At the SatoFuru Marche, visitors can expect a range of products aligned with these two themes: everyday support gifts and luxury indulgence gifts. The event will not only feature sales of approximately 30 curated gifts but will also include gourmet offerings from food trucks, allowing attendees to taste the products before making a purchase.
