We celebrate “Ichiban Day” this week, from 4/8 to 4/12, at 5 select locations in Texas and 4 in Illinois! Experience our Gyu-kaku #1 dishes at even more affordable prices for their quality and taste. Selection includes $15 Kirin Draft Pitcher, $14 Prime Kalbi, $4 Gyu-Sushi 2pc, and $4 Boba Mochi Ice Cream.
Ichiban Day is celebrated this week because of the 11th, for the multiple number ones. The word “Ichiban” means #1 and is also used in the term “Ichiban Shibori,” or “First Press,” which is a specific method used during the production of Kirin Ichiban Draft Beer, a method which results in a smoother, rich 100% malt beer beverage.
Participating locations include Gyu-Kaku Austin, Houston, Memorial, Sugarland, Willowbrook, Chicago Streeterville, Lakeview, West Loop, and Naperville. Must be of legal age and provide ID for alcoholic beverages. Other rules may apply.
