〜に限り~ni kagiri
limited to a date or group
Use 「〜に限り」 in formal notices to specify the date or people eligible for an offer or service.
How it works
Will the discount still apply tomorrow? 「に限り」 means today only; it does not apply on other days.
Only customers with reservations can use the private room. 「に限り」 can also specify who is eligible.
It follows a noun. 「予約した」 modifies 「お客様」, so the whole phrase still ends in a noun.
Often used in formal notices and event rules to make clear when or for whom an offer or service applies.
In the example, 「全品」 includes every item; 「本日に限り」 limits the date of the discount.
