Support Initiatives Following Kumamoto Earthquake in Reiwa 8 Year

On July 31, following the Kumamoto earthquake, our company would like to express heartfelt condolences to those who lost their lives and offer support to everyone affected. Our thoughts and prayers are with the community for a swift and safe recovery from this disaster.

We are committed to nurturing the community through our food-related business and supporting local cuisine and connections.
