A curry restaurant specializing in dashi-based curries has launched a summer-only "unlimited rice" promotion to combat the loss of appetite caused by the heat, according to Zipangu Food Relations Co. (prtimes.jp). The initiative is part of the restaurant's efforts to attract customers during the hottest months of the year, when many people tend to eat less.

The promotion allows customers to enjoy unlimited portions of rice with their curry dishes, encouraging them to eat more without worrying about portion limits. This strategy is designed to enhance customer satisfaction and increase sales during the summer season. The restaurant has seen a rise in foot traffic since the promotion began, with many customers praising the value and convenience of the offer.

The move reflects a growing trend among food businesses in Japan to adapt to seasonal changes in consumer behavior. By offering flexible dining options, the restaurant aims to maintain its reputation for quality while remaining competitive in a challenging market. The promotion is expected to continue through the summer months, with no indication of extending it beyond.
