Japan Foods Holding Ltd

About Company

Established in Singapore in 1997 and listed on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited in February 2009, Japan Foods Holding Ltd (“Japan Foods”) is one of the leading Japanese restaurant chains in Singapore.

Constantly evolving with changing consumer tastes, Japan Foods operates a growing network of restaurants under an expanding portfolio of Japanese-concept brands that are either franchised from Japan or self-developed by its in-house culinary team. To widen its customer reach, Japan Foods launched its first self-developed Japanese Halal-concept restaurant called “Tokyo Shokudo” in 2020. Today, Halal-concept brands make up a substantial portion of the Group’s portfolio as it continues to make inroads in this segment.

Regionally, the Group’s network extends beyond Singapore to include a restaurant in Malaysia under a sub-franchise agreement and restaurants in Hong Kong, China and Indonesia operated by associated companies.

Besides its franchised and self-developed brands, Japan Foods operates restaurants in Singapore through a joint venture company with Minor Food Group (Singapore) Pte Ltd. Brands operated by the joint venture company include “Extra Virgin Pizza” and “Pizzakaya”.
