Who can use the Night Discount?
The key condition is the time you enter the restaurant. The offer is for customers who enter Washoku Sato from 9:00 PM onward, so 9:00 PM itself is included. The qualifying condition is the entry time, not simply the time an order is placed.
The campaign runs from September 11 through September 30, 2026. The campaign announcement says the offer covers all 202 Washoku Sato stores referenced in that release, and the Sato Foodservice company profile also lists 202 Washoku Sato stores as of September 2026.
There is one official-data discrepancy worth knowing about: the current Washoku Sato store locator displays 230 entries. The official pages do not explain why the locator count differs from the 202-store figure in the campaign announcement and company profile. For this article, 202 is therefore treated as the campaign’s stated participating-store count, while the live locator should be used to confirm the specific store you plan to visit.
Three alcoholic drinks are ¥110 each
The drink portion of the campaign covers three alcoholic beverages: lemon sour, grapefruit sour, and highball. Each is priced at ¥100 before tax, or ¥110 including tax, under the Night Discount. The official announcement says customers can reorder the eligible drinks at the same campaign price.
The ¥110 price applies only to those three drinks. Other alcoholic beverages are not automatically discounted to ¥110. For visitors unfamiliar with Japanese family restaurants, a “sour” is a common Japanese mixed alcoholic drink, while a highball is typically whisky mixed with soda water.
Another cost condition applies later at night. Washoku Sato’s official store pages state that orders placed from 10:00 PM onward are subject to a 10% late-night surcharge. Merely remaining in the restaurant after 10:00 PM is not the condition described on those store pages; the surcharge is tied to orders placed from that time onward.
Seven side dishes are half price
Seven selected side dishes are offered at half their regular price. These are small dishes that can be combined with the discounted drinks or ordered as part of a late dinner.
| Menu item | Night Discount price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Edamame | ¥136 | Half price |
| Salted cucumber | ¥136 | Half price |
| Butter corn | ¥191 | Half price |
| French fries with ketchup and mayonnaise | ¥218 | Half price |
| Fried chicken, 5 pieces | ¥301 | The 3-piece serving is not eligible |
| Squid with grated daikon and mayonnaise | ¥246 | Half price |
| Fried pufferfish, 3 pieces | ¥383 | Bone-in fish is used |
The fried chicken condition is worth noting: the five-piece serving is included, while the three-piece serving is excluded from the campaign. The pufferfish dish also uses bone-in pieces, according to the official campaign information.
Three noodle and rice dishes are ¥220 off
The second part of the food offer is aimed at customers who want a more substantial dish later in the meal. Three noodle or rice options receive a ¥220 discount.
| Menu item | Night Discount price | Extra detail |
|---|---|---|
| Zaru soba | ¥548 | Up to triple noodles at no extra charge |
| Zaru udon | ¥548 | Up to triple noodles at no extra charge |
| Mini chopped tuna rice bowl | ¥218 | ¥220 off the regular price |
Zaru soba and zaru udon are chilled noodles served with dipping sauce. During this campaign, both can be increased up to a triple noodle portion without an additional charge. The mini chopped tuna rice bowl is priced at ¥218 after the campaign discount.
How late can you use the deal?
The campaign announcement says Washoku Sato generally operates until midnight, while some locations have different closing times. Four locations are listed as closing at 11:00 PM: Frespo Nagata, Nishi-Maizuru Mall, Frest Matsuiyamate, and Moriyama Shidami. The Kako-machi (水主町) location in Nagoya is listed as closing at 1:00 AM.
The same announcement says all-you-can-eat menu orders are accepted until 10:00 PM, while regular menu items such as tempura rice bowls and seasonal dishes can generally be ordered until 11:30 PM. Some stores inside commercial facilities may follow different schedules. Because Night Discount eligibility starts with entry from 9:00 PM onward, checking the specific store’s hours is especially important if you plan to arrive late.
You can use the official Washoku Sato store locator to confirm a location and its current operating hours.
What to check before visiting
- You must enter from 9:00 PM onward to qualify for the campaign.
- Orders placed from 10:00 PM onward are subject to a 10% late-night surcharge.
- Takeout and delivery orders are not eligible for the campaign discount.
- Eligible menu items may sell out.
- The campaign may be suspended on certain days during the campaign period.
- The service may end without advance notice.
- Some locations may be temporarily closed for renovation.
- Menu contents or tableware may differ at some stores depending on ingredient availability.
For a visitor, the two time rules are different. Entering from 9:00 PM onward makes you eligible for the Night Discount. Separately, orders placed from 10:00 PM onward are subject to the 10% late-night surcharge. If price is the main reason for visiting, keep both conditions in mind when deciding when to enter and when to place additional orders.
Example combinations
Based on the listed campaign prices, one selected ¥110 drink plus edamame costs ¥246 before any applicable late-night surcharge. A ¥110 highball plus the five-piece fried chicken comes to ¥411. Adding the ¥218 mini chopped tuna rice bowl to those two items brings the listed campaign-price total to ¥629.
These examples are simple sums of the published campaign prices. If any of those items are ordered from 10:00 PM onward, the official store pages state that a 10% late-night surcharge applies to orders from that time onward. The actual bill can also change if you order additional items.
What is Washoku Sato?
Washoku Sato is a Japanese family restaurant chain operated by Sato Foodservice. Its menu includes Japanese-style set meals, rice bowls, noodles, seasonal dishes, and all-you-can-eat options. The Night Discount is therefore not a bar-only promotion; it is a late-evening restaurant campaign combining discounted alcoholic drinks with selected side dishes and meal items.
For travelers looking for a casual late dinner in Japan, the useful points are straightforward: the entry condition is clearly defined, prices are listed in yen, and individual store hours can be checked online. Because official sources currently show different store counts, use the campaign announcement for the participating-store figure and the live store locator to find and verify the location you intend to visit.

Summary
Washoku Sato’s second Night Discount campaign runs from September 11 through September 30, 2026. The campaign announcement states that 202 stores participate. Customers entering from 9:00 PM onward can order lemon sour, grapefruit sour, or highball for ¥110 each, choose from seven half-price side dishes, and receive ¥220 off three selected noodle or rice dishes. Zaru soba and zaru udon can also be increased up to a triple noodle portion at no extra charge.
Remember the two separate time conditions: entry from 9:00 PM onward is required for the Night Discount, while orders placed from 10:00 PM onward are subject to a 10% late-night surcharge. Takeout and delivery are excluded, and store hours vary. Check the official store locator before making a late-night visit.
