The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced a new partnership with S Foods Inc., which will include a special meaty promotion.

The Dodgers will be hosting “Japanese WAGYU Days” from Sept. 4 to Sept. 6 during their home series against the Washington Nationals.

During those games, fans in the Dugout Club will be tasting Kobe Beef and Ozaki Beef, along with other wagyu cuts.

Additionally, the Dodgers will feature the brand on the DodgerVision LED boards and in other digital advertising.

The move marks yet another Japanese sponsor joining the team. The Dodgers have become a hub for Japanese fans and culture, fielding a roster with three pivotal Japanese players and a ton of marketing opportunities for those brands.

Namely, the Dodgers have Shohei Ohtani, a powerhouse in his own right who has a ton of sponsorship money coming through the door.

The Dodgers have already launched a new baseball field-naming rights partner in Uniqlo, which is all over the stadium, while Toyo Tires, Yakult, and Jinro Soyu are also plastered throughout the ballpark.

Considering that Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki are nowhere near done playing and all have long-term commitments with the Dodgers, it is reasonable to assume the organization will continue adding to its Asian sponsor portfolio.
