2. Background to the implementation of the "Sapporo City Restaurant Future Support Crowdfunding Project for Fiscal Year 4"

Sapporo is a gourmet city that boasts some of the best food in Japan.

As you all know, there are many different kinds of restaurants, including local specialties such as ramen, Jingisukan (grilled lamb), and soup curry, but since the spread of the coronavirus in 2020, restaurants have been facing great difficulties.

With the aim of supporting that restaurant, Sapporo City has been implementing a support program using purchase-based crowdfunding since 2020, and many people have provided support in the past two years.

For the third year in a row, we will continue to support restaurants struggling with the prolonged spread of infection through crowdfunding.

3. What are the benefits of supporting restaurants?

The main benefit of supporting them is that you can get premium meal vouchers that offer a 30% discount on your purchase!

For example, if you purchase 10,000 yen worth of vouchers, you'll receive a meal voucher worth 13,000 yen.
If this were an izakaya (Japanese pub), you could probably order 3 or 4 more dishes. What a great deal!

Another attractive feature is that you can easily support the project starting from just 1,000 yen per unit.

4. How do I purchase premium meal vouchers?

The advantage of the "Sapporo City Restaurant Future Support Crowdfunding Project for Fiscal Year 4" is that you can purchase discounted premium meal vouchers from anywhere in the country.

Access the special website " Delicious Sapporo " and search for the store or category you want to support on the website.

Simply choose the store you want to support, decide how many units you want to donate, and complete your purchase by paying with a credit card, at a convenience store, or via bank transfer!

Please note that there is a limited number of tickets available for purchase at each restaurant, so popular restaurants tend to sell out very quickly every year.
The key is to decide on a supporting store and make your purchase as soon as possible.

5. How do I receive and use the meal vouchers?

Meal vouchers can be picked up directly at the store. They can be used during the voucher validity period (the first phase is from August 6th to October 31st).

6. What kinds of restaurants can I use it at?

As of June 28th, 940 restaurants are participating in this crowdfunding campaign.

The list includes not only restaurants serving local Sapporo cuisine, but also sweets shops, snack bars, and more.

For more details , please visit the special website " Delicious Sapporo ".

Please note that the store registration period ends on July 6th, so the number of participating stores is expected to increase even after the premium meal voucher sales begin on June 29th.

7. Along with meal vouchers, don't miss the "Sapporo Discount" if you're traveling to Sapporo.
