IYEMON Cafe Franchise Opportunity

IYEMON Cafe, operated by Cafe Company, is excited to announce the launch of its franchise program. With a theme focused on the creation of community, IYEMON Cafe operates approximately 60 cafes, including WIRED CAFE, across Japan and internationally as of July 2025. This initiative encourages a vibrant and healthy lifestyle through the medium of tea, in collaboration with Fukujyu-en Co., Ltd. and Suntory Foods International.

The Unique Selling Propositions of IYEMON Cafe

1. Established Brand Recognition
The IYEMON brand is well-known and has significant recognition thanks to its appearances in TV commercials and participation in international events led by Suntory. Franchise owners can leverage this brand power to attract customers and build a positive brand image.

2. Distinctive Offering of Matcha Drinks
Unlike many other tea brands focused solely on take-out, IYEMON Cafe differentiates itself by offering a menu centered around high-quality matcha drinks and providing a calm eat-in atmosphere. The fragrant matcha lattes and traditional Japanese sweets are particularly popular among women and inbound customers, creating an enjoyable experience. This fusion of quality and experiential value is key to its differentiation.

3. Operational Efficiency
The company emphasizes streamlined operations that minimize reliance on staff. Rigorous testing in direct stores has led to methods that reduce staffing needs, enabling lower labor costs while maintaining quality.

4. Prime Locations for High Traffic
With a network of over 100 restaurants in various facilities, IYEMON has cultivated strong relationships with developers, allowing franchises to open in high-traffic areas. This strategic placement maximizes potential customer visits.
