Get ready for a taste of Asia in your lunch break! Tesco is taking its popular meal deal to the next level by partnering with beloved Asian eatery Itsu. Starting October 21st, shoppers can enjoy the delicious Itsu dragon sushi range as part of the £5 meal deal. This means you can grab a satisfying and flavorful sushi roll, complete with a mayo sachet, soy sauce, and a mini pot of crunchy tempura pieces, all for a great price.
This collaboration marks another step in the growing partnership between supermarkets and popular restaurant chains. Sainsbury’s has already embraced Itsu’s offerings, stocking items like chicken big bao, chicken ramen, and chicken and spring onion gyoza. Itsu has also expanded its presence in other supermarkets including Waitrose, Morrisons, and Asda, making its unique Asian cuisine readily available to a wider audience.
Tesco shoppers will also get to enjoy five new products from Itsu, launching on November 4th. This includes two frozen dumpling flavors, chicken soup, and vegetable steamed dumplings, all perfect for a quick and easy meal. The dumplings, priced at £3 for six 28g pieces, can be microwaved or steamed to enjoy. Also hitting the shelves are three exciting vegetarian options: glazed miso aubergine, tempura fries, and pumpkin crispy fritters, each priced at £3.25.
This exciting collaboration follows a recent price increase for Tesco’s meal deal. While the price for Clubcard holders has gone up to £3.60 (from £3.40), Tesco has defended the price hike by highlighting the improved quality of its products. A spokesperson for Tesco stated that “Clubcard members will pay just £3.60 for a main, snack, and drink, meaning our meal deal remains great value and the ideal way to grab lunch on the go. “With millions of possible combinations across our stores, our recent improvements to ingredients and more than 20 new mains introduced this summer, the Tesco meal deal has got something for every taste.”
So, if you’re looking for a delicious and convenient lunch option, be sure to check out Tesco’s new Itsu meal deal. It’s a perfect blend of taste and value that’s sure to become a lunchtime favorite.
