Our Story

When opening our first store in 1992 our main mission was to offer Japanese and Korean people a home away from home. Because what is better than being reminded of home by eating delicious food that you are used to?

We want to provide authenticity and let our customers taste the Asian hospitality. Every single day we are really grateful that we are able to cater to everybody and that people are happy to visit our stores. We will always do our best to give our customers a pleasant and tasty shopping experience!
