[Asakusa Origin, Heading to the World] The Shock of "5-Minute Shelf Life"! Sushi Roll Specialty Store "Hand Roll Tokyo" Scheduled to Open Around May in Southampton, UK. Accepting Special Interviews with Local Franchisees!

Over 20 types of sushi rolls

From the backstreets of Asakusa, to the world. "Hand Roll Tokyo," a specialty sushi roll store operated by kamibito Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Daigo Terakita), will open its first overseas store, the "Southampton Store," in the UK around May, two years after the brand's inception. Amidst the unprecedented boom in Japanese cuisine in the UK, we aim to spread Japanese food culture globally as a healthy fast food option.

Why the UK, and why now? Explosive Demand for "Japanese Food x Healthy." Currently, there is a rapidly growing demand for "Healthy Fast Food," especially among young people in the UK. Unlike pre-made sushi with soggy nori, our store uses the highest quality first-harvest nori from Ariake Sea (Matsumoto rank) to achieve the ultimate "crispy texture." This sushi roll, advertised with a "5-minute shelf life," boasts an excellent PFC balance, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids from salmon and vitamins/minerals from nori. Through our unique "Operation System Requiring No Artisans," we will deliver freshly rolled deliciousness of high quality even in the UK, revolutionizing the local diet.

About the UK Store Location The new store, "Hand Roll Tokyo Southampton Store," will open on the main street of Lyndhurst (55 High Street, Lyndhurst), located near the port town of Southampton in southern England. This area is a beautiful town where the historic brick architecture characteristic of the UK harmonizes with rich nature, and it is a very vibrant street frequented by many local residents and tourists daily. Currently, there are no Japanese restaurants in this surrounding area, creating a very favorable market environment with few competitors. On a traditional British main street, the brand-new Japanese "sushi roll" will be a unique presence, bringing a new wave to the local food culture. It is an ideal location for a casual stop while sightseeing or strolling.
