For the first time in Japan, the popular sushi tasting event “King’s Showdown Summer Edition” returns to Tokubei and Kaisen Atom sushi chains in Kanagawa starting July 17, 2026.
This event caters to sushi lovers eager to enjoy premium bluefin tuna and king salmon without long waits, offering specially curated six-piece tasting sets and a combined value set available through the end of August.
About the King’s Showdown Summer Edition
Back by popular demand from last summer, the “King’s Showdown Summer Edition” pits the “King of Tuna,” bluefin tuna, against the “King of Salmon,” king salmon, in a delicious sushi tasting fair. Available at 46 locations across the Tokubei and Kaisen Atom brands, this limited-time event runs from July 17 through August 31, 2026.
The bluefin tuna tasting set includes six pieces featuring a variety of cuts such as lean, medium fatty, fatty, seared fatty, and a sea urchin gunkan, showcasing the rich flavors of this prized fish. This set won the prestigious Japan Food Selection Grand Prix in March 2025, recognized by over 23,000 food analysts.
The king salmon tasting set has been enhanced this year to include six pieces: classic nigiri, mayo avocado, salmon roe gunkan, kiwi-topped, seared cheese, and pressed sushi with seaweed and flavorful fillings. Each offers a unique taste experience highlighting the salmon’s vibrant color and melting texture.
For those who want to sample both, the “King’s Tasting Set” combines the bluefin tuna and king salmon six-piece sets at a special price that saves ¥66 compared to ordering separately. This set is perfect for sharing or indulging solo in a luxurious sushi experience.
