| Our Story

2014年に米国ワシントン州シアトルで設立された弊社は、異国の地において日本の居酒屋文化を広めるとともに、働く従業員とその家族の幸せを実現し、またその地域にしっかりと根付き、愛され、必要とされるお店作りをすることをミッションとしてきました。
お客様を喜ばせる事、楽しませる事、驚かせる事、感動させる事を従業員一人ひとりが考え行動し、心に残る最高の時間を提供できるチーム作りを目指しています。
日本人として生まれた事に感謝をし、まだまだ知られていない沢山の日本の魅力を伝え、私たちの作り上げるものがその地域の顔、財産になるように、たくさんの『ありがとう』をいただくために、これからも日々仲間達と走り続けます。
Founded in 2014 in Seattle, Washington, our mission is to share the rich culture of Japanese izakaya in a foreign land while creating establishments deeply rooted in and cherished by the local community. We are dedicated to the happiness and well-being of our employees and their families, building spaces that are loved and needed by the neighborhoods we serve.
We aim to create a team where every member is inspired to delight, entertain, surprise, and move our customers, offering them unforgettable moments and exceptional experiences.
With gratitude for our Japanese heritage, we strive to showcase the countless charms of Japan that remain unfamiliar to many. Our goal is to create something that becomes a symbol and treasure of the local community. To achieve this, and to earn countless expressions of gratitude, we will continue running forward, hand in hand with our team, every day.
