Introduction
Assentia Holdings has recently announced a strategic alliance with SUSHI YOUR WAY, a company based in Abu Dhabi, to support the global franchise expansion of SUSHI YOUR WAY, which will be rebranded as TOKYO YOUR WAY starting from August 2026. This collaboration aims to introduce Japanese cuisine in various countries where it has not yet gained widespread popularity.
The Evolution of Japanese Cuisine
The food industry has witnessed a significant transformation over the past 40 years in Japan, transitioning from generalized dining establishments to specialized restaurants that cater to specific tastes and culinary excellence. Similarly, the global market for Japanese food reflects this evolution, where the demand for authentic offerings has increased in parallel with the history of Japanese cuisine abroad. Assentia Holdings will take into account the historical spread of Japanese food in the target countries to propose the most suitable dining models to overseas partners.
SUSHI YOUR WAY - A Recipe for Success
SUSHI YOUR WAY, launched in Abu Dhabi in 2018, has already expanded to three locations in Dubai. Despite the unstable geopolitical climate in the Middle East, exacerbated by tensions between the U.S. and Iran, the brand has achieved its highest sales figures in the last seven months. What makes this brand distinct is its customizable dining experience, allowing patrons to enjoy not only sushi but also other popular Japanese dishes such as ramen and katsudon, tailored to their personal preferences. This approach resonates particularly well in countries with many Japanese cuisine beginners, thus enhancing its appeal.
Future Expansion Goals
Assentia Holdings plans to enhance the global franchise model through ongoing support and optimization while exploring expansion opportunities across various countries. The rebranding to TOKYO YOUR WAY aligns with the goal of internationalizing the franchise and making it more recognizable as it enters new markets.
