Yakiniku no Watami to Launch 'Zero Leftovers Meat Lottery Campaign' for Food Loss Reduction starting June 8

Watami Co., Ltd., based in Ota-ku, Tokyo, will launch a food loss reduction event called the 'Zero Leftovers Meat Lottery Campaign' at its 'Yakiniku no Watami' restaurants starting June 8, 2026. This initiative aims to tackle the issue of food waste in the all-you-can-eat sector through positive reinforcement rather than restrictions.

### Campaign Background: Merging Fun with Sustainability Food loss reduction is an urgent task for the restaurant industry. In yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) establishments focusing on all-you-can-eat courses, excessive ordering near the last order time often leads to leftovers. Instead of merely telling customers not to leave food, this campaign proposes a positive way to contribute to the environment by rewarding those who finish their meals with a lottery game.

### Campaign Overview Customers who order an all-you-can-eat course and finish all dishes at their table (including meat and side menus) are eligible to participate in the 'Meat Lottery' at the time of payment.

* **Target Stores:** 19 'Yakiniku no Watami' locations nationwide (including Yokohama, Namba, Ikebukuro, etc.) * **Period:** June 8 (Monday) to June 21 (Sunday), 2026 * **Participation Criteria:** Customers who order and finish an all-you-can-eat course.

### Lottery Prizes (per store) * **Special Prize:** A5-Rank Kagoshima Black Cattle Wagyu Gift Set (1 winner) * **Prize A:** Watami Farm Gift Set (6 Grass-fed Ice Creams) (3 winners) * **Prize B:** 290 JPY Meal Voucher (500 winners) * Terms: One voucher per group; valid for bills over 4,000 JPY (incl. tax). Not valid for lunch or student all-you-can-eat plans. Can be combined with other coupons.
