Japan's Culinary Innovation with SalaSpa
In a landmark achievement for the culinary landscape of Japan, SalaSpa, the first specialized salad pasta restaurant, has been awarded the prestigious "SMB Excellent Company 2025" accolade. Operated by XeroJapan, Inc., this unique restaurant was recognized for its commitment to social challenges and innovative business practices amongst approximately 3.67 million enterprises across the nation. The award is a testament to SalaSpa's uniqueness, its careful consideration towards human capital management, and its superior business model.
A Fresh Perspective on Dining
Founded on the philosophy of creating a culinary circle with seasonal domestic ingredients, SalaSpa brings a refreshing twist to traditional pasta dishes by introducing the concept of salad pasta. It's not merely a menu; it represents a new gastronomic experience that captivates both the eyes and the taste buds. Dishes like the "Kyoto Kujo Negi and Domestic Mackerel Ginger Salad Pasta" or the "Summer Hint with Hamaguri Salad Pasta" reflect Japan's seasonal offerings and leave a lasting impression on customers, proving to be popular limited-time items.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Horizons
With ambitions to expand nationwide, SalaSpa isn't just stopping at its physical restaurant locations. The company is also exploring e-commerce opportunities and collaborative product developments that transcend the traditional boundaries of dining. This proactive approach illustrates SalaSpa's dedication to delivering new culinary experiences directly to consumers, aiming to integrate salad pasta into everyday dining culture. As the CEO, Ryodai Aoyama, stated, "This challenge emerged from zero and aims to redefine dining in the industry while highlighting the charm of Japan. We aspire to share small discoveries and joys through the culture of salad pasta with as many individuals as possible."
The SMB Excellent Company Initiative

SalaSpa has excelled in all these areas, setting a remarkable example for others to follow.
The Future of SalaSpa
The vision for SalaSpa is bright and expansive.
