Why sushi and wine?
In 2021, while planning a new restaurant in Sangenjaya, I faced a crucial question:
“How can I create a brand in this fiercely competitive area that no one else can replicate?”
The answer I arrived at was—the pairing of sushi and wine.
With only five locations in Tokyo and Kanagawa.
After thorough research, I became convinced that
“Sushi and wine pairing will undoubtedly create a ‘new value’.”
Once we actually started serving it,
“Sushi and wine go together so well!”
“It’s my first time, but it’s delicious! I want to come back!”
Such comments poured in one after another.
And they came not only from domestic customers, but also from guests visiting from around the world.
“Sushi × Wine” has become more than just food pairing—it’s an experience that moves values.
Now, we want to expand that potential onto the global stage.
That’s why we’re seeking licensed partners to take on this challenge with us.

Benefits of
Taking Action
A completely untapped market
There are still few restaurants specializing in sushi and wine pairings.
Our sommelier will suggest wine pairings that complement each sushi.
return on investment
With an investment of around 30 million yen and high unit prices, recovery within three years is possible.
Training System
Pairing can be mastered within one month as it involves wines pre-selected by our sommelier.
In the kitchen, you’ll learn the fundamentals of sushi preparation and prep work during the first two weeks, then complete your training through hands-on practice over the remaining two weeks.
