Tuesday, March 24, 2020

The Hokuryu Town Food and Beverage Association (Masumi Fujii, association president and owner of Snack Hanarin) is planning and implementing a "5X Inakado Point Event" under the slogan "Don't let the new coronavirus get the better of you! The event will be held under the slogan "Don't let the new coronavirus get you down! The event will be held on March 25 (Wed.), 26 (Thu.), and 27 (Fri.).

The Hokuryu Town Food and Beverage Association held its own

This project was designed as a way to overcome the slump in consumption caused by the spread of the new coronavirus. Participating food and beverage outlets include Ajijidokoro Hachihachi, Omoshiro Mukohi, Jirocho, Snack Wa, Snack Hanarin, Snack Kirara, and Sunflower Park Hokuryu Onsen "Restaurant Windmill".

At two restaurants, Izakaya Ichinose and Seasonal Cuisine Kawajin, points are not issued, but they will provide service of dishes commensurate with the service points.

Part 1: 5x Inakado points

As the first phase of the program, "Inakado Point 5x" will be held on March 25 (Wed.), 26 (Thu.), and 27 (Fri.) in honor of "5 (Ko), 6 (Ro), and 7 (Na)"!

Part 2: "Inakado 5x" even with premium gift certificates!

And the second one is that even if you use the Hokuryu-cho Genki Ouen "Premium Gift Certificate (500 yen)" which will be sold on April 6 (Mon.) and 7 (Tue.), you will receive 5 times the Inakado points as a commemoration of the launch.

Furthermore, as long as the last three digits of the product number No. of the premium gift certificate is 567 (Corona), the 500 yen gift certificate can be used as a 1,000 yen gift certificate, and 5 times points will be added!

Premium gift certificates issued by the town of Hokuryu, with a 30% discount rate, will go on sale on Monday, April 6 at 10,000 yen per book with a face value of 13,000 yen (consisting of 26 500-yen tickets). The Town of Hokuryu will pay for the cost of the coupons, and 1,000 coupons are scheduled to be issued.

The Hokuryu Town Food and Beverage Association will do its best to support the hard-working residents of the town!

We took time out of our busy schedule to speak with Yoshiaki Arima, 62, executive director of the Hokuryu Town Chamber of Commerce and Industry, about the event.

The members of the Hokuryu-cho restaurant cooperative wanted to implement something to combat the new coronavirus, so they gathered together in a hurry to discuss the issue.

Since the use of premium gift certificates is for the sale of goods (use of products for shopping), this event was planned after pondering whether it would be possible to offer services that are possible through the use of each food and beverage store.

Let's not let the new coronavirus get the better of our town!　Let's support the residents of Hokuryu Town by doing our best! The food and beverage establishments will each pay the equivalent of 5 times the Inakado points.

The event was made possible by the passionate desire and proactive action of the union members to unite and support the town. The Hokuryu Town Food and Beverage Association will continue to consider countermeasures in response to the new coronavirus infection situation," said Mr. Arima, Executive Director of the association.

I express my unlimited love, gratitude, and prayers to the great and resilient spirit of the people of Hokuryu Town, who are working together, united, and smiling in action without being defeated by the new coronavirus.
