Tsukiji Gindaco, the popular takoyaki chain, is bringing back its highly anticipated “Summer Ticket” campaign starting July 1, 2026. Available nationwide (excluding some stores), this limited-time offer lets customers enjoy their favorite takoyaki at a great discount while earning rewards through PayPay coupons and the Gindaco digital stamp card.
For visitors to Japan, this campaign is a perfect chance to savor authentic takoyaki — one of Japan’s beloved street foods — at an affordable price during the summer months. The Summer Ticket makes it easy and rewarding to enjoy multiple servings, ideal for tourists exploring Tokyo and other cities where Gindaco operates.
About the Tsukiji Gindaco Summer Ticket Campaign
The Summer Ticket is a prepaid voucher that can be exchanged for popular takoyaki varieties like the classic sauce-flavored takoyaki, negidako (green onion), teritama (teriyaki egg), cheese mentaiko, and other limited-time items. Customers can purchase two types of ticket sets: a 4-ticket set for ¥2,462 (tax included) and an 11-ticket set for ¥6,264 (tax included). Each ticket redeems one 8-piece takoyaki serving.
The campaign is split into two sales periods: one starting July 1 and another on August 1, with limited quantities available at each participating store until stocks run out. Some stores, such as those in stadiums or racecourses, and special collaboration or limited menu items are excluded from the ticket’s use.
Highlights
- Two ticket sets available: 4 tickets for ¥2,462 and 11 tickets for ¥6,264 (tax included).
- PayPay coupons offer up to 5% points back when paying via the Gindaco app’s PayPay feature from July 1–8 and August 1–9.
- Purchasing tickets earns digital stamps on the Gindaco app, which can be redeemed for free takoyaki and other rewards.
- Special days with double or triple stamps (July 8, August 8, August 9) maximize rewards and points.
- Tickets can be used for most regular and seasonal takoyaki items, but not for collaboration or exclusive menus.
