The drinks will be served from October 1 through October 31, 2026, while supplies last. Some Shinjuku Saboten locations may not participate, so check availability before ordering.
The soft drinks cost ¥528 (tax included), or ¥418 (tax included) when ordered with a meal. Kale Green draft beer costs ¥825, and Kale Green lemon sour costs ¥682, both tax included.
About the Kale Green Drinks
Kale Green Draft Beer
Shinjuku Saboten’s Kale Green draft beer combines the restaurant collaboration with FANCL’s domestic kale ingredient. It costs ¥825 (tax included).
Kale Green Lemon Squash
The Kale Green lemon squash pairs unsweetened soda with lemon for a refreshing drink alongside tonkatsu. It is priced at ¥528 (tax included), or ¥418 with a meal.
Each drink uses FANCL’s concentrated domestic kale, made with an average of 120g of fresh kale leaves, equivalent to one day’s amount of green and yellow vegetables. FANCL says its low-temperature fresh-concentration process helps retain the taste and components of freshly pressed kale.

Shinjuku Saboten has proposed starting meals with fresh shredded cabbage since its founding in 1966, as part of its approach to enjoying tonkatsu with vegetables. This collaboration extends that food pairing idea to drinks, giving diners several ways to add kale alongside a fried pork cutlet meal.
The lemon squash is the most distinctive nonalcoholic option. Its unsweetened soda and lemon flavor are designed to provide a clean, refreshing contrast to tonkatsu, while the apple and orange juice versions offer sweeter alternatives. The alcoholic lineup adds a draft beer and a lemon sour for diners who want a drink with their meal.
Shinjuku Saboten operates about 480 restaurants in Japan and overseas. Its menu includes tonkatsu made with specially selected breadcrumbs and 100% vegetable oil, along with signature dishes such as filet brian and aged loin cutlet. The Kale Green drinks are a seasonal addition to this restaurant menu rather than a retail product, and availability depends on each participating location.
