What this is
Kappa Sushi, one of Japan's major conveyor-belt sushi chains, has teamed up with the beloved Yo-kai Watch franchise for a nationwide collaboration running through September 2026. Spend ¥3,500 or more in a single visit and — as a Kappa Sushi app member — you can claim one of five die-cut memo pads featuring characters like Jibanyan, Whisper, and Hovernyan. While you eat, the iconic 'Yo-kai Exercise No. 1' song plays over the restaurant speakers roughly every 30 minutes, and the touch-panel ordering screens show the accompanying video.
Who should go
Yo-kai Watch fans, especially families with young children, will get the most out of this. It's a casual dining experience first — the collaboration layer is a bonus for those already planning a kaiten-zushi outing.
Good to know
The Kappa Sushi app is available on iOS and Android and is free to download — registration requires a Japanese phone number or email address, so set this up before you visit. Payment at Kappa Sushi is typically handled at a self-checkout kiosk or register; card and IC card payments are generally accepted alongside cash. The memo pad giveaway ends when stock runs out regardless of the campaign end date, so there is no guarantee of availability throughout September. If you want a specific character design, ask staff before ordering — availability varies by branch and cannot be confirmed in advance.
