Celebrate 50 Years of Ikkyu with 99 Yen Beer Festival and Specials

An Unforgettable 50-Year Journey of Ikkyu

As autumn deepens, it's time for celebration! Ikkyu, a beloved izakaya, is thrilled to mark its 50th anniversary with a special event that brings smiles to patrons all over. With a history dating back to 1975, Ikkyu has been a cherished spot for those seeking a relaxing break in their daily lives. On October 14-16, everyone is invited to enjoy their amazing "99 Yen Beer Festival," where guests can indulge in a variety of beverages, including the famous The Premium Maltz, Jim Beam highball, and specialty lemon sours, all for just 99 yen each!

As a token of gratitude to the loyal customers who have supported Ikkyu over the years, this festival is a way to give back to the community. Located in the heart of Higasimurayama, Tokyo, Ikkyu takes pride in being a local hub where friends and families gather to unwind. The celebration kicks off shortly after the successful 50th-anniversary party held on October 7.

Special Offers and Conditions

To enjoy the unlimited happiness of 99 yen drinks, there are a few conditions: each guest must order at least two food items. This rule is set with the noble aim of ensuring zero food waste aligns with sustainability goals. Guests should preferably finish their drinks to minimize leftovers and enjoy their time without rush, as seating may be limited to a two-hour window. Additionally, if the bill comes to less than 1,000 yen per person, a minimal service fee of 300 yen will apply.

For those craving even more, Ikkyu offers daily special events:

- Ikkyu Time: Enjoy draft beer for 190 yen and half-priced beverages on weekdays from 4 PM to 7 PM.
- Half-Price Days: Every Monday and Thursday, customers can enjoy Ikkyu Time throughout the entire day.
- Black Tuesday: Every Tuesday, 19 select drinks are available for just 99 yen all day!

An Evolving Experience

As part of its commitment to enhancing customer experiences, Ikkyu has introduced various upgrades:

- Free Wi-Fi and mobile ordering available in all locations.
- Charging outlets at every table (except select locations).
- Comprehensive anti-bacterial and anti-virus coating, Kino Shield, implemented across all branches.

Despite rising costs in recent years, Ikkyu continues to uphold its mission: to provide a casual and affordable drinking spot for everyone. The restaurant has remarkably maintained its pricing similar to 25 years ago when the average meal price was around 2,100 yen, showcasing its dedication to customers.

This year, Ikkyu is also unveiling a range of special 50th-anniversary menu items, including the delightfully priced fried chicken at just 50 yen per piece. There are only a couple of months left to enjoy these anniversary specials, so patrons are encouraged to visit and make unforgettable memories!

A Beloved Destination for All

Whether you're a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor, Ikkyu is evolving while retaining the charm and nostalgia of days gone by. This autumn, gather your family and friends and experience the warm ambiance of Ikkyu, where the past meets the present.
