■ Release Summary
The sushi counter 'Sushi Rakuza Yanonoki' (operated by DELIX Co., Ltd. / Grade Group Co., Ltd.) in Azabu-Juban, Tokyo, will launch a special member recruitment project to commemorate its renewal on the support purchasing service 'Makuake' starting at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
This is the 3rd time the restaurant has run a project on Makuake. The 1st round (December 2023) achieved 2.18 million yen (726% of the goal), and the 2nd round (August 2024) achieved 2.37 million yen (791%), gathering a cumulative total of 4.55 million yen in support from 107 backers.
This project is being held to commemorate the store name change planned for May 10, 2026 (from 'Sushi Rakuza Yanonoki' to 'Azabu-Juban Sushi Yanoki') and its renewal opening. It offers special returns allowing early experience of the new restaurant, such as the aged sushi omakase course (with all-you-can-drink) at a super early bird price starting from 23,000 yen, a rare sake premium pairing plan, and an 8-person private charter plan (188,000 yen).
■ Past Makuake Results: Exceeded 700% of the goal two consecutive times
Despite being a sushi restaurant with only an 8-seat counter, both of the past two Makuake projects gathered support exceeding 700% of the target amount.
