Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on the scale (125‑150 restaurants, two‑phase national rollout, production of creative assets, media buys, influencer fees, event logistics, and reporting), a comparable U.S. Embassy promotional contract in Japan typically ranges from $0.5 million to $1.5 million. The lower bound assumes minimal media spend and in‑kind contributions; the upper bound reflects extensive media placements, high‑profile events, and comprehensive deliverables.
