Fujishima Group Celebrates 18th Anniversary of 'Yakiton Azabu Fujishima Main Store' in Azabu-Juban, Tokyo, with Anniversary Thank-You Festival on June 20

Infinity8 Co., Ltd. (Minato City, Tokyo; CEO: Kenichi Fujishima), which operates the restaurant brand Fujishima Group—specializing in yakiton (grilled pork skewers) and pork offal barbecue (Yakiton Azabu Fujishima Main Store / Yakiton Yuka-chan / Horumon Yuka-chan)—announces that its flagship store 'Yakiton Azabu Fujishima Main Store' will celebrate its 18th anniversary in June 2026. To commemorate this milestone, the company will host a thank-you event titled 'Azabu Fujishima 18th Anniversary Festival' at the main store on Saturday, June 20, 2026, inviting those who have supported the group over the years.

18 Years in Azabu-Juban: Dedicated Solely to Pork

In June 2008, 'Yakiton Azabu Fujishima Main Store' opened in Azabu-Juban, Tokyo. The founder, Kenichi Fujishima, established an unusual standard in the food industry at the time: purchasing entire domestic three-breed pork offal per animal. For 18 years, the company has uncompromisingly focused on pork—from sourcing and preparation to grilling each skewer.

Rather than chasing trends, the group has sincerely engaged with the culture of yakiton and grown alongside the Azabu-Juban neighborhood. This commitment is the origin of Fujishima Group and remains a source of pride today.

Hosting a Thank-You Festival to Honor Supporters

With this spirit in mind, the group will host a thank-you gathering on Saturday, June 20, 2026, inviting loyal customers and supporters. The event will bring together everyone who has walked this 18-year journey, sharing an evening in Azabu-Juban.

The event will feature the store's signature menu items developed over 18 years of pork-focused dedication. A DJ booth will also be set up, creating a vibrant atmosphere where the aroma of grilled pork meets music—a passionate night embodying the Fujishima Group spirit. According to CEO Fujishima, 'This is more than just eating; we want guests to experience the unique atmosphere of our store at this 18-year milestone.'

Beyond 18 Years: Fujishima Group's Pledge

As it marks its 18th anniversary, Fujishima Group continues to evolve. The group is updating its long-standing concept from '17 Years of Pork: Infinite感动 and Smiles Beyond Price' to '18 Years of Pork: Infinite感动 and Smiles Beyond Price.' This change reflects not just a number update, but a renewed commitment infused with 18 years of accumulated technique, trust, and passion—a fresh start for the future.

Additionally, on June 1, 2026, the group will launch the 'Meister System,' a qualification program for artisan skills. By passing on each staff member's technical expertise and pride to the next generation, the group will advance further, balancing its dual mission of 'remaining a restaurant that protects flavor' and 'remaining a restaurant that nurtures people.'

Statement from CEO Kenichi Fujishima

'Thanks to our loyal customers, dedicated staff, and all the partners who have supported us, we've been able to focus solely on yakiton in Azabu-Juban for 18 years. I truly believe it has been worth it.

It's already 18 years, but also still 18 years. We will continue to sincerely serve our customers with unwavering dedication to pork, striving to become a restaurant loved for generations to come.'
