Rinospe Inc.'s New Initiative in the Rental Kitchen Sector

Rinospe Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, under the leadership of Tatsuya Takekoshi, has announced an exciting new project focused on the regeneration and resale of rental kitchen-specific real estate. Building on the operational expertise acquired from its successful rental kitchen business, the company is now seeking information on aging properties and challenging commercial tenant spaces from real estate agents and brokers across Japan.

Transforming Underutilized Properties into Rental Kitchens

Since entering the rental space business in June 2019, Rinospe has facilitated the launch and management of nearly 100 locations. Addressing unique operational challenges, such as noise concerns and waste disposal regulations, the company has developed a bespoke management system aimed at continuous improvement. This extensive experience will guide the acquisition of the following types of properties for their new venture:

• - Small older buildings and tenant spaces
• - Commercial real estate with sustained vacancies and utilization difficulties

The acquired properties will operate under the “Rinospe Kitchen” brand for a designated period, during which revenue data and usage statistics will be compiled. Eventually, these properties will be sold to interested buyers as investment real estate with established operational performance.

Rising Demand for Rental Kitchens

Rinospe Kitchen spaces serve various purposes, including cooking classes, social gatherings, home parties, culinary video or social media shoots, and as preparation sites for food truck operators. Recently, there has been a surge in demand for these spaces as venues for cooking experiences and cultural immersion activities aimed at inbound tourists. This trend suggests a growing need for hour-based space utilization, which Rinospe anticipates will expand in the future.

Additionally, the company offers support to obtain permits, such as for food service, pastry production, and processed food manufacturing, tailored to the circumstances of each property.

A New Option: Investment Properties with Operational Track Records

Traditionally, real estate investments require buyers to consider usage options post-purchase. Rinospe aims to simplify decision-making for potential buyers by offering properties with established operational performance and user data. The “Rinospe Kitchen Shinzu,” acquired and opened in August 2024, continues to be successfully managed while accumulating operational data.

Request for Property Information

Currently, Rinospe is actively pursuing property acquisitions, primarily in the Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya regions, while also conducting ongoing research in urban areas. Property owners facing challenges such as unfilled vacancies or limited uses are encouraged to reach out to the company. Rinospe is open to considering older, previously underutilized properties. Each property will undergo individual assessments concerning compliance with building standards, fire safety laws, and health regulations.

Insights from CEO Tatsuya Takekoshi

Having experienced business failures and personal bankruptcy in the past, Tatsuya Takekoshi believes that the key to successful real estate investment lies not in chasing high yields but in establishing systems that enable sustainable long-term operations.

Rinospe has spent eight years navigating the shared space business landscape, learning from numerous mistakes and improvements. This new endeavor represents a fresh challenge built upon that experience. By offering the unutilized real estate an innovative option in the form of rental kitchens, Rinospe aims to create value for property owners, real estate companies, and users alike.

Rinospe looks forward to receiving property information and consultations.
