KINKA Launches New Lunch Venture

On July 3, 2026, KINKA, the hidden gem of sushi and izakaya dining that returned from Canada, will officially kick off its new lunch service at ROKKON Japanese Sake Bar located in Kagurazaka, Tokyo. This collaboration between KINKA FAMILY JAPAN, a subsidiary of Trailhead Global Holdings, and Matsushiro Sake Brewery from Aomori marks an exciting development in the culinary landscape of the city.

Two Passions Converging in Kagurazaka: Background of the Collaboration

This joint effort stems from the deep admiration of Matsushiro Sake Brewery, established in 1804, for the distinctive dining experience that KINKA offers. By merging traditional local sake culture with a relaxed lunchtime atmosphere featuring fresh seafood, this partnership aims to cultivate a new value for everyday dining.

ROKKON already enchants the night as a stylish sake bar, and this collaboration will utilize its space effectively during the day. KINKA is set to offer a curated lunch experience that highlights its unique offerings in a refined setting.

Launch Details for the June 3 Opening: Lunchtime Operations

Starting from July 3rd, ROKKON will open its doors from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays, transforming into a delightful hub for business professionals seeking quality meals. The lunch menu will be streamlined to include three carefully selected bowls that capture the essence of KINKA.

Lunch Menu Highlights:

• - Tekka Don (Tuna Rice Bowl) - ¥1,600 (Tax Included)
• - Kaisen Chirashi Don (Seafood Rice Bowl) - ¥1,350 (Tax Included)
• - Salmon Don - ¥1,250 (Tax Included)

The New 'Express' Business Model and Future Outlook

This initiative represents a vital shift in KINKA's strategy, bringing forth a model designed for swift service in compact venues within office districts and commercial spaces. By offering a focused menu during ROKKON's non-operational hours, they achieve both operational efficiency and a high-value dining experience.

The knowledge gained from this venture will be pivotal as KINKA aims for further franchise opportunities and plans for agile expansion into smaller properties. The future isn't limited to lunch services alone; KINKA and ROKKON are eyeing evening collaborations, weekend premium sushi offerings, and exclusive events, expanding their service offerings gradually.

Emphasizing the synergy between both brands, this milestone in Kagurazaka will pave the way for new value creation in the dining sector.
