Top Corporation (Operated by Teppen Co., Ltd.; Location: Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture; President: Kazuaki Tofuhira), an izakaya on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture, started a winter-only campaign from January to February, when restaurants usually struggle, offering grilled special Ishigaki beef ribeye for 60% off from the regular price of 2,739 yen for a special price of 1,089 yen. The campaign, "Ishigaki Island Winter Travel Thank You Fair," started on January 18, 2026, offering special Ishigaki beef ribeye for 1,089 yen, a 60% discount from the regular price of 2,739 yen, and Orion beer for 429 yen, a 29% discount.

Experience to be enjoyed at the tabletop


This project was planned as "a dish to energize the whole island" that can be enjoyed by both tourists and locals alike under the same conditions.



Background|Why this project now?

The restaurant industry on Ishigaki Island faces a structural problem in that January and February, when the number of tourists settles down, is said to be the most difficult time of the year, and many restaurants are in the red.


In "Teppen, Koteppen, Doteppen

Instead of raising prices or downsizing, we chose to create a reason for people to come to our restaurants.

This project was born from the reversal of the idea of offering Ishigaki beef, which is known as a high-class food, at an affordable price.

Contents of the project|The true nature of the 1089 yen price

The dish offered this time is "Yakishabu" using a rare, specially selected ribeye part of Ishigaki beef that has a particularly excellent balance of flavor and fat.


The dish is a combination of thinly sliced Ishigaki beef, quickly cooked, and served with a sauce made of warishita and beaten egg at the moment when the aroma and flavor are at their peak.


We have thought it through so that you will feel like you have eaten Ishigaki beef.


In addition, for those who have chosen this quiet Ishigaki Island, we will also offer Orion beer at a special price of 429 yen. Eat, drink, talk, and have a good time.

Discounts for locals

However, in this project, we dared to unify "the same conditions and the same price.

We aim to create a night that is unique to Ishigaki Island in winter, where "islanders and travelers alike can enjoy themselves at the same table".


Comments from the restaurant

January and February tend to be a time of patience.

But instead of closing the restaurant, we wanted to create a reason for people to gather.

Rather than lowering the value of Ishigaki beef, we wanted to offer it as an opportunity to meet people.

General Manager Narita



Future Prospects|We don't want this to be a one-off event.

This project is scheduled to continue as a regular winter event to be held every year from January to February after 2026.
