It doesn't end with just being cheap. A shareholder benefit that reduces food loss while giving you an 'additional 2,000 yen off'
'Cheap online shopping' is nothing unusual these days.
But,
it is already exceptionally cheap to begin with.
Moreover, that low price leads to socially beneficial actions like reducing food loss.
And finally, you get an additional 2,000 yen off with the shareholder benefit.
I think it is quite rare to find a benefit that aligns so well.
This time, I will clearly summarize the shareholder benefit of
Kuradashi <5884> from the perspectives of:
* Why the products are cheap to begin with
* Why it doesn't end with 'just saving money'
* How much destructive power it has when you stack the benefits
⸻
To begin with, why is it cheap?
'Kuradashi', operated by Kuradashi, is not your typical discount online store.
What they handle are:
* Products that are still delicious to eat but are close to their expiration date
* Products that have become difficult to sell normally due to packaging changes, etc.
* Products that have lost their place due to seasonal factors or inventory circumstances
and so on.
In other words,
it is not cheap because it lacks value, but because there is a 'reason to sell it off' due to distribution circumstances.
This is the key point.
If it were just about 'buying cheap,' there are countless services in the world.
But with Kuradashi, buying cheap itself leads to food loss reduction.
It is not only kind to the household budget, but also meaningful to society.
This structure is very strong.
In fact, according to information released by Kuradashi in June 2026, as of the end of March 2026, the cumulative results are:
* Food loss reduction: 37,951 tons
* CO2 reduction: 100,607 t-CO2
* Total support amount: 187,674,126 yen
It is not a story that ends with 'I was able to buy it a little cheaper,' but a mechanism where daily shopping directly leads to social contribution.
⸻
When you add the shareholder benefit to this, the world changes at once
What makes this service even more interesting is the shareholder benefit.
Kuradashi's shareholder benefit is for shareholders who hold 100 shares or more as of June 30th each year.
The details are as follows:
* 100 shares: 4,000 yen worth (2,000 yen coupon x 2)
* 200 shares: 8,000 yen worth (2,000 yen coupon x 4)
* 300 shares or more: 12,000 yen worth (2,000 yen coupon x 6)
Moreover, this 2,000 yen coupon can be used for orders of 3,000 yen or more including tax.
*One coupon per order. Multiple coupons cannot be used together.
The moment I saw these conditions, I thought,
No, this is strong. Quite strong.
Because Kuradashi's products are already cheap to begin with.
Ordinary benefits tend to take the form of 'buying products close to list price a little more cheaply with the benefit.'
But Kuradashi is different.
On top of a product group that is already cheap from the start, you get an additional 2,000 yen off from the benefit.
In other words,
Already cheap
↓
Also leads to food loss reduction
↓
Plus an additional 2,000 yen off with the shareholder benefit
It becomes a three-stage structure.
This is the essence of this benefit.
⸻
The destructive power of 'cheap, and then even more off'
For example, suppose you place an order in the 3,000 yen range including tax.
At that point, Kuradashi products are already often cheaper than normal distribution.
You can then use an additional 2,000 yen coupon on top of that.
Then, the feeling you get is,
'Shopping that gathered bargain items is discounted significantly once more at the end.'
This is truly strong.
For example, if it were a restaurant benefit, it would be the value of 'being able to enjoy dining out at a discount.'
That is attractive in its own way.
But Kuradashi hits closer to household expenditures like beverages, food, snacks, and daily necessities.
In other words, the benefits are more likely to be felt as:
* The satisfaction of dining out
instead of,
* The feeling that monthly living expenses are lighter
I think it is a benefit that is easy for families to understand.
⸻
The greatness of this benefit is that 'it is good for society, yet strong for the household budget'
Talk about saving money sometimes gets a bit dull.
Because if you only chase cheap things, it is easy to get the feeling of 'just saving money.'
But Kuradashi is different.
Buying cheap is not just a discount hack.
* Leads to food loss reduction
* Leads to reduction of environmental burden
* Part of the sales leads to support for social contribution activities
Because there is this background,
you can feel like 'doing good while gaining,' rather than 'gaining and that's it.'
This feels quite good.
Buying stocks means supporting that company.
And using the benefits of the company you supported helps your household budget.
Moreover, that consumption also has a positive impact on society.
I think this flow is among the most beautiful in shareholder benefit investing.
⸻
If your goal is the benefit, 100 shares is easy to understand first
Kuradashi is attractive enough with just 100 shares.
With 100 shares, you get 2,000 yen off twice a year.
In other words,
it means you can push even harder twice a year against 'already cheap shopping.'
The stock price moves daily, but based on the closing price on August 17, 2026, it is 643 yen.
With 100 shares, you can reach the holding level for about 64,300 yen.
You can aim for it from the 60,000 yen range, and the impact on the household budget is easy to understand.
This clarity is significant.
If you increase it to 200 shares or more, the benefit amount will also increase, but I think it is natural to see how it feels to use with 100 shares first.
⸻
Here are the points to note
It is an attractive benefit, but there are points you want to keep in mind before using it.
* Shareholder benefits can be used for orders of 3,000 yen or more including tax
* Only one coupon per order
* Multiple coupons cannot be used together
* 4,000 yen worth per year for 100 shares, 8,000 yen for 200 shares, 12,000 yen for 300 shares or more
* Product lineup and inventory fluctuate
* The benefit system may be changed or abolished in the future
In other words,
you cannot go as far as saying 'there is definitely something I want every time.'
I want to look at this calmly.
However, even taking that into account,
* The original price is cheap
* It has social relevance
* The impact of the 2,000 yen discount is large
These three points are too strong.
⸻
Summary: This benefit 'makes good shopping even more pleasantly cheap'
The appeal of Kuradashi's benefit is not just getting 4,000 yen worth.
What is really interesting is that
on top of a meaningful business of reducing food loss,
there are products that are already cheap,
and on top of that, you get an additional 2,000 yen off from the shareholder benefit.
This is it.
It is not just cheap.
It is not just like social contribution.
It is not just that the benefit amount is large.
It is strong because these three are all connected.
'Aren't benefits just about getting a little gain in the end?'
This might be a stock that hits home for people who think that way.
Kind to the household budget.
Kind to society.
And finally, it even has the destructive power of the benefit.
I quite like this kind of benefit.
