「In sales, the company held fairs centered on popular products such as crab and tuna to capture post-COVID demand, ran campaigns including gifts featuring popular anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Chiikawa and Detective Conan, and launched an aggressive television advertising campaign. As a result, sales for the cumulative second quarter reached a record high.」

「As a result, same-store sales remained firm at 107.7% year on year and 108.1% of the level in the fiscal year ended October 2019, before the spread of COVID-19.」

「As a result of these measures, same-store sales during the cumulative second quarter exceeded sales before the spread of COVID-19 despite operating restrictions, and many customers visited the company's stores.」

「Supported by the high regard for infection-control measures such as the antibacterial sushi cover Seido-kun and Smart Kura Sushi, sales remained firm during the cumulative first quarter, with same-store sales exceeding pre-pandemic levels.」

「As a result of these initiatives, domestic sales at all stores fell to the 50% range of the year-earlier level in April, due to the pandemic, but then recovered significantly. For the full year, sales reached 100.5% of the previous year's level, narrowly setting a new record high, and have remained strong recently.」

「As a result of these initiatives, same-store sales, which had fallen to 51.9% of the year-earlier level in April 2020 due to the impact of the spread of COVID-19, recovered to more than 90% from June onward and remained solid relative to the food-service industry as a whole.」
