投票でとんかつ半額　「選挙割り」、全国直営店で―平田牧場

　ブランド豚「金華豚」で知られる平田牧場（山形県酒田市）は、３１日投開票の衆院選と酒田市議選を対象に、投票を済ませた人にとんかつを半額にするキャンペーン「選挙割り」を展開する。若年層をはじめ有権者に投票を促すのが狙いで、期日前投票を含む２５日から来月７日まで全国の直営店で実施する。
　会計時に各区市町村の選挙管理委員会が発行する「投票済証」を提示すると、看板メニュー「金華豚厚切りロースかつ膳」などが半額になる。サービスの利用は１人１回。山形、宮城両県、東京都内にある計１２店で実施する。同社は「全国の若者が自らの将来を考え、投票するきっかけにしてほしい」としている。（2021/10/20-17:58）

Hirata Farms Co., known for its "kinkaton"-brand pork, will launch a campaign to cut the prices of "tonkatsu" pork cutlet meals by half for people who will have voted in Japan's Oct. 31 general election.
   The "election discount" campaign by the restaurant chain operator based in Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture, northeastern Japan, is aimed at encouraging voters, especially young people, to cast their ballots in the election for the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of parliament.
   Those who vote in the Sakata city assembly election to be held also on Oct. 31 will be eligible for the discount as well.
   Hirata Farms will conduct the campaign at its 12 directly operated outlets in Tokyo, Yamagata and neighboring Miyagi Prefecture between Monday and Nov. 7, including the period for early voting.
   Customers can enjoy dishes, including the mainstay pork loin cutlet set meal, at half price if they present, when checking out, the voting certificates issued by the election management commissions of local governments.
