Our restaurant business is all about the spirit of omotenashi. With a meticulous attitude towards food and people, we connect Japan with the wider world and connect rural communities to the city.

In addition to operating a range of restaurant ventures in Japan, Food’s Style is also developing restaurant overseas. Our focus overseas is to export Japan’s traditional gastro-culture and omotenashi spirit and connect Japan with the wider world. Our focus in Japan is to promote lovingly created agricultural produce to city dwelling consumers, thereby linking rural communities with the heart of the city. Also, with the aim of conveying the fantastic value of Japan’s traditional gastro-culture and its lovingly created agricultural produce, we also devote our energies to training individuals who embody the omotenashi spirit. By conveying the omotenashi spirit through food, we aim to inspire the world.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

A gentle flavour in the mouth that soon develops into a deep flavour
Since the 1980s, Hokkaido Ramen Santouka’s salt flavoured ramen dish has taken the world by storm. It is served in a simple bowl, unlike many ramen and donburi dishes, and garnished with a pickled plum. The white tonkotsu (pork belly) broth, carefully simmered over a low heat, can be enjoyed until the very last drop. Hokkaido Ramen Santouka continues to use the same exact recipe, which fully brings out the umami of the ingredients, ensuring the signature mild and gentle flavour.
In 2014, we opened a Hokkaido Ramen Santouka outlet in Bellevue, Washington. We have since expanded through franchising, and currently have three outlets in Washington and Massachusetts. Faithful to the restaurant’s founding ethos, we aim to further expand the outlets to introduce the contents of "washoku" the internationally acclaimed Japanese cuisine.
Hokkaido Ramen Santouka’s broth is entirely handmade from scratch at the restaurant, including those outlets overseas as well as in Japan. The chef tries to use as little salt as possible and follows a meticulous and painstaking recipe. This ensures that the ramen embodies the founding principles by being delicious, healthy, and great for the family to eat.
Hokkaido Ramen Santouka aims to always deliver the same great taste, so that it continues to be loved by people around the world.

JUNKICHI ROBATA IZAKAYA

From Ginza to Seattle - Robata JUNKICHI
It is not an exaggeration to say that Tokyo's Ginza district is the gastronomic center for Japanese food. And in the heart of Ginza, there is Ginmasa, one of the most popular robatayaki restaurants, where patrons enjoy exciting grilled skewers using the finest ingredients.
Robatayaki is a Japanese grilling tradition in which skewers are slow-grilled over intensely hot "binchotan", very pure high carbon charcoal, to cook food to perfection - crunchy on the outside and juicy in the center.
And now the founders of Ginmasa are coming to the United States to open their first restaurant, JUNKICHI, to serve this best kept secret of Japanese cuisine.
"I was really happy to see customers from overseas appreciating robatayaki as much as Japanese people" the general manager Yoshizawa says. "And this gave me the idea to recreate a robatayaki restaurant outside of Japan". That's how everything started.
JUNKICHI is going to serve the delicious "Robatayaki" in a lively izakaya style setting, which they believe is the most enjoyable setting for eating. Izakaya is a Japanese style pub, where you can enjoy a “tapas” style meal over good drinks and good conversation with your friends. JUNKICHI will also offer a good selection of reasonable sake selected carefully by a sake sommelier.
