Revives Corporation and the Launch of 'Storiare'
In an exciting development in Japan's culinary landscape, SOOWOOD Corporation and LIFE BONDS LLC have teamed up to create Revibes Corporation. This joint venture aims to redefine dining experiences by integrating food and culture, encapsulated in their mission statement: "Revive the Vibe. Feel the Vibes."
Scheduled to open in September 2025 in Tokyo’s Otemachi district, Revibes will inaugurate its flagship Italian restaurant, 'Storiare.' The name Storiare comes from the Italian word for story, symbolizing the narratives behind each dish. At Storiare, patrons won’t just indulge in delicious flavors; they’ll discover the passion of producers and chefs woven into the culinary creations served on their plates.
Background of the Collaboration
The joint venture emerges from a successful collaboration at the 'R Hotel Namba South' in Osaka. There, SOOWOOD contributed its expertise in space design and real estate development, while LIFE BONDS handled menu development, operations, and digital engagement. This partnership proved the effectiveness of their complementary strengths, establishing a strong synergy that both companies wish to replicate at Revibes.
With the resurgence of inbound tourism post-COVID, there is a growing interest in experiential dining. The partners recognize the necessity of building a platform to sustain this synergy as they aim to expand both domestically and internationally.
The Concept Behind Storiare
Storiare aims to deliver not only a meal but also a narrative. By intertwining stories of the producers with the chef's creative spirit, every dish served seeks to transport diners to the roots of each ingredient. The concept revolves around connecting individuals through a shared culinary experience, promoting a deeper appreciation for the food they enjoy.
