Now till 2 May 2025: Sakedokoro Eizaburo, Orchard’s Viral Izakaya Offers 1-for-1 Mega Donburis: Lunchtime Japanese Promotion at Cuppage Plaza

If you’ve got a soft spot for Japanese cuisine, particularly hearty donburis that leave no space on the plate untouched, this is one food event you’ll want to mark on your calendar. Nestled in the heart of Orchard, Sakedokoro Eizaburo’s second outlet at Cuppage Plaza has launched with a massive lunchtime promotion—1-for-1 mega donburis, a deal that has already begun to make waves among Japanese food lovers.

You may recall Sakedokoro Eizaburo from its original outlet at Fortune Centre, where photos of their oversized donburis flooded social media. These bowls weren’t just generous—they were overflowing with beautifully grilled meats, rich sauces, and well-seasoned rice. Now, the same concept has landed in Orchard, with even more reason to celebrate: their 1-for-1 opening special is the kind of promotion that’s too good to pass up.

Let’s break it down—because this isn’t just any lunch deal. From now until 2 May 2025, diners at their Cuppage Plaza location can enjoy a full 1-for-1 offer on their entire lunch menu, which already starts at a wallet-friendly $3.95++ per item (that’s already a deal, considering the original prices began at $7.90++). But the real attraction lies in their Mega Don Series—a special lineup of rice bowls that push the limits of portion size and flavour.

Here’s what’s on the menu for this limited-time 1-for-1 promo:

• Mega Chicken Nanban Don (UP $15.90++) – a massive serving of tender fried chicken slathered in tartar sauce.

• Mega Mixed Fries Don (UP $16.90++) – for those who love variety, this one’s piled high with different fried favourites.

• Mega Unagi Don (UP $28.90++) – if you love the buttery richness of grilled eel, this is an unmissable indulgence.

• Mega Sauce Katsu Don (UP $19.90++) – crispy pork cutlet drenched in tangy-sweet sauce, sitting on a mountain of rice.

All of this is part of the 1-for-1 offer, which means you and a friend could each tuck into these mega-sized dishes for as low as $5.45++ per person. In a city like Singapore where premium Japanese dining can quickly empty your wallet, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy top-notch food without the high price tag.

But here’s the catch—and it’s a fair one. This deal is strictly available only during weekday lunch hours, from 12pm to 2.30pm, Monday to Friday, and is exclusive to the Cuppage Plaza outlet. There’s a minimum of two diners to qualify for the 1-for-1, and takeaway orders are not included—so it’s dine-in only. That said, the atmosphere of an izakaya during the quiet afternoon lull makes for a cosy, low-key escape from the hustle and bustle of Orchard.

So why should you make a point to experience this deal? There are a few solid reasons:

1. Incredible Value

Dining out in Singapore’s city centre can be costly, especially if you’re craving authentic Japanese fare. But Sakedokoro Eizaburo has always made a point to keep prices reasonable. With the 1-for-1 promotion, the value goes through the roof—where else can you enjoy a mega don for under $6 during lunchtime in Orchard?

2. A New Hangout in Orchard

Cuppage Plaza might be one of Orchard’s more under-the-radar spots, but that’s part of the charm. It’s a little bit of old Japan nestled among the skyscrapers and malls, and Sakedokoro Eizaburo fits right in. It’s an ideal spot for office workers, students, or anyone looking for a hidden gem lunch destination in town.

3. Perfect for Sharing

The 1-for-1 deal is designed for pairs, which encourages communal dining—something that’s at the heart of Japanese izakaya culture. Bring a friend, colleague, or foodie partner along, and you’ll both walk away full and satisfied without spending a fortune.

4. Great Taste, Great Portions

The quality of the food speaks for itself. These aren’t skimpy servings—each donburi is a generous portion that could satisfy even the biggest appetites. Plus, they’re packed with flavour, offering a full culinary journey from the first bite to the last grain of rice.

5. Limited-Time Exclusivity

There’s always something appealing about limited-time promotions—they come and go quickly, which makes the experience feel even more special. If you’re someone who enjoys being part of the “in the know” crowd, catching this deal before it ends on 2 May 2025 is a must.

This isn’t a flashy marketing gimmick—it’s a proper reward for Japanese food lovers who appreciate quality and value. Whether you’ve already visited their Fortune Centre outlet or are discovering Sakedokoro Eizaburo for the first time, this new Cuppage Plaza location gives you another reason to enjoy their much-loved donburis.

Don’t forget, the izakaya also offers a range of small plates from just $2.90, so if you’re still hungry (or curious), you can sample some of their other offerings without breaking the bank. While the 1-for-1 deal doesn’t extend to drinks, it’s a perfect excuse to focus on the food—and honestly, with portions this big, you probably won’t be needing anything else.

If you’re planning a lunch trip, aim to arrive early. With the buzz already growing and the location being right in Orchard, seats are likely to fill up fast. Think of it as a weekday lunch adventure—a chance to escape the food court routine and treat yourself to a Japanese feast that doesn’t cost a small fortune.

Whether you’re a die-hard donburi fan, a lover of Japanese cuisine, or simply someone who appreciates a good deal, this is a lunch promotion that’s well worth your time.
