NA Group's Strategic Acquisition of SEED
In a significant move aimed at strengthening its business foundation and fostering group synergy, NA Group, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has fully acquired all shares of SEED, making it a 100% subsidiary. This acquisition aligns with NA Group's core philosophy to "create culture through food."
Background of the Acquisition
NA Group believes in the power of food to transcend tradition and elevate cultural experiences within local communities. SEED, known for its unique expertise and extensive network, brings a passionate commitment to service in specific culinary domains. By integrating SEED into its corporate structure, NA Group anticipates a powerful fusion of dedication to food and combined operational resources, not merely to expand its scale, but to generate higher value in an ever-evolving dining industry.
Goals and Synergy of the Integration
Pursuit of Emotional Value and Service Improvement

Enhanced Management Infrastructure and Operations
Sharing management structures and frontline insights between both companies will lead to combined back-office functions. This streamlined approach will create a sustainable management system, robust against industry changes.
Creation of Growth Opportunities through Talent Exchange
The collaboration will also encourage interaction among staff with diverse careers, strengthening culinary techniques and service skills. It will create an environment where food professionals can truly shine.
