We burst onto the restaurant scene in 1997, when we shook up London and showed
the UK a new way of eating. Part of this was the kaiten conveyor belt and
colour-coded dishes which made our name.

Were all about fresh, flavoursome, authentic Japanese food. Sushi is what
were famous for, but we also have a mouth-watering range of hot street food
available - from traditional classics to innovative fusion dishes. All packed
with rich, aromatic flavours and umami. Fast forward to today and we have over
70 restaurants all over the globe, more than 300 kiosks in the UK, with
grocery products and pre-pack sushi in most major UK supermarkets.
