About

Message from the President

I moved to the United States in 2011 to pursue my mission, a path I committed to following the passing of my mother. Since then, I have spent over 10 years working within the Japanese food industry in the U.S., during which time I have visited more than 1,000 restaurants.

I am deeply committed to the growth of the Japanese food industry especially Sushi Robot and am confident that my experience and professional network can contribute significantly to this field. I am passionate about helping others and growing together through meaningful collaboration.

I officially launched my company on December 22, 2025, a date that also marks the 18th anniversary of my mother’s passing. I appreciate your support as I begin this new chapter, and I look forward to our future success together.
