At Boat Race Kojima, the “BOATRACE Kojima Regional Revitalization Coupon” program is running from July 5 to December 31, 2023.
A representative facility in Kojima, Boat Race Kojima draws visitors to watch races and enjoy hidden culinary gems.
However, I had never been there before, and it had always felt unfamiliar to me.
Apparently, the BOATRACE Kojima Regional Revitalization Coupon lets you enjoy Kojima-area cuisine at a discount.
The coupons distributed through September are valid until December 31, 2023.
I realized I had to use mine before it expired, so I decided to give it a try.
The information presented was current when this article was published in December 2023. Please note that it may differ from current information.

I tried using it
The menu shown was available as of July 2023.
I decided to try using the BOATRACE Kojima Regional Revitalization Coupon.
I headed to Cafe vege in Shimonomachi, Kojima.
I ordered the afternoon tea.
Enjoy sweets the healthy way with the “Afternoon Tea Set”
This is the “Afternoon Tea Set,” available from July to September 2023.
First, I tried the chocolate cake.
With one bite, its moist texture and chocolate sweetness come through, making it something you’ll want to eat again and again.
In fact, this chocolate cake contains an “unexpected ingredient” that other chocolate cakes don’t.
It’s tofu! That’s a distinctive touch from Cafe vege, which focuses on healthy eating.
There’s just enough tofu to avoid overpowering the chocolate cake’s flavor, so even people who don’t like the taste of tofu can enjoy it without noticing.
Next, I tried the egg sandwich.
The fluffy bread, mellow egg flavor, and crisp lettuce come together to make it delicious.
This egg sandwich is also made with locally sourced eggs.
I enjoyed eating each dish, wondering what special touches went into it.
Discover delicious Kojima cuisine thanks to the coupon
Are there any shops you’re curious about but haven’t quite taken the first step to visit?
I had actually been wanting to try Cafe vege for a long time.
The BOATRACE Kojima Regional Revitalization Coupon gave me the chance to visit Cafe vege. I found myself thinking, “I want to come back” and “Next time, I want to try other dishes,” and discovered a new favorite restaurant.
My visit to Cafe vege was also featured on KCT’s “Hanamaru Park: Let's Play at Kojima Boat.”
I joined Abe Asuka from “Hanamaru Park: Let's Play at Kojima Boat” for a reporter showdown, where we shared what makes Cafe vege special.
The coupons are valid until December 31, 2023.
If you have one but haven’t used it yet, why not take this opportunity to visit a shop you’ve been curious about?
