Asakusa's Japanese Crepe Specialty Store 'Saryo Kamon no Ko' Launches Support Business for Establishing Sweets Operations for Restaurants. Brand Power of 'Produced by Top Patisserie Graduates' Can Be Introduced - Opens in Los Angeles, USA on March 25th.

Godo Kaisha Kamon (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Daiki Kawagoshi) is launching a BtoB business that comprehensively supports restaurants from the establishment to promotion of their sweets operations, leveraging the product development capabilities and store management know-how cultivated at its Japanese crepe specialty store, 'Saryo Kamon no Ko -Kamon no Kou-' in Asakusa.

The biggest feature of this business is the ability to directly utilize the brand power of 'Saryo Kamon no Ko Produce' through a license agreement. Partner stores can display the Kamon no Ko brand name and the credentials of producer Daiki Kawagoshi on their storefronts, menus, and promotional materials, leveraging the strong appeal of 'sweets produced by someone from a top patisserie' to attract customers to their own establishments.

As the first project of this business, a license agreement has been concluded with a Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles, USA, and a new Japanese crepe brand, 'TSUTSUMI Japanese Artisan Crepes,' opened on March 25, 2026.

About Saryo Kamon no Ko -Kamon no Kou-

Daiki Kawagoshi, who has served as manager at numerous famous confectionery stores such as Pierre Hermé and Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, has created a concept for a higher-class Japanese crepe that uses high-quality ingredients and allows customers to enjoy changes in taste and aroma like a parfait. Inspired by the atmosphere of old Tokyo in Asakusa, it is a Japanese crepe specialty store that disseminates new creations in a Japanese-modern worldview.

The Appeal of License Agreements - Differences from Franchises

With a license agreement, you can leverage the brand value of Kamon no Ko as a weapon for your partner store, going beyond mere recipe provision. On the other hand, it offers greater operational flexibility with fewer restrictions compared to franchises, allowing you to maintain your store's unique identity.

① Expansion with the Title 'Produced by Kamon no Ko' is Possible

You can display the credit 'Produced by Kamon no Ko -Kamon No Ko-' on storefront posters, menus, social media, etc. Instead of investing the time and cost to build your own brand from scratch, you can utilize our brand from day one.

For hotel afternoon tea, the credit 'Produced by a graduate of Pierre Hermé' can directly enhance reservation appeals and add value to accommodation plans.

② Utilize Producer Daiki Kawagoshi's Credentials for Promotion

Leveraging his background from top patisseries, Daiki Kawagoshi himself oversees the production. The appeal of 'sweets crafted by someone from a top patisserie' greatly contributes to gaining consumer trust and media coverage.

③ No Need to Change Store Name - Maintain Your Own Brand Identity

While franchise agreements typically require adopting the franchisor's brand name, our license agreement does not require a change in store name. You can maintain the store sign and customer relationships built over many years. For hotels, produced items can be seamlessly integrated into the existing brand image without altering the names of in-house restaurants or lounges.

④ Original Product Planning is Possible

The plans (recipes) provided by our store can be customized into your own original products, such as decorations, ingredients, dough, and pricing, to match your store's atmosphere. Since you can sell these alongside existing menu items or products using local ingredients, you can achieve an ideal product lineup of 'signature sweets supervised by a famous producer + your store's unique classic menu.' Unlike franchises, you are not required to align your entire menu with the licensor.

⑤ Seasonal Limited-Edition Product Planning and Design for Seasonal Ambiance

The Asakusa main store of Kamon no Ko releases special limited-time products incorporating seasonal themes. On March 27, 2026, they launched the 'Spring Fragrance: Uji Matcha Crepe with Cherry Bean Paste and Strawberry' (¥1,800 tax included), using abundant spring ingredients such as cherry bean paste, fresh strawberries, cherry blossom edible flowers, and matcha almond tuiles.

For partner stores, we provide not only the planning and recipes for these seasonal limited-edition products but also create corresponding seasonal posters and menu designs.

Limited-edition products directly lead to buzz on social media and repeat customers, making them effective continuous customer acquisition strategies throughout the year.

For Experiential Events Such as Afternoon Tea and Matcha Experiences

Kamon no Ko's Japanese crepes, with their elegant appearance and ingredients rooted in Japanese tea culture, have a high affinity with experiential content in hotels and ryokans.

Afternoon tea and tea accompaniments for matcha experiences are popular Japanese cultural content for inbound demand, especially for guest experiences.

Kamon no Ko's Japanese crepes, featuring Japanese motifs like family crests and dry landscape gardens drawn with hojicha or matcha powder on top, offer a high level of satisfaction both visually and gastronomically when served with matcha.

We can also quickly update posters and visuals for seasonal product releases.

This saves outsourcing costs and effort while delivering high-quality creative content that unifies the brand's worldview.

Los Angeles, USA: 'TSUTSUMI Japanese Artisan Crepes'

As the first project under this initiative, a license agreement was signed with a Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles, USA.

The new Japanese crepe brand, 'TSUTSUMI Japanese Artisan Crepes,' was launched and had its pre-opening on March 25, 2026.

The storefront posters prominently feature the credit 'Produced by Kamon no Ko -Kamon No Ko-' along with Daiki Kawagoshi's credentials and photo, leveraging the brand story of 'premium Japanese crepes produced by a graduate of a top patisserie' as a customer attraction tool from day one.

Representative Daiki Kawagoshi traveled to the site to handle menu development, operational structure building, staff training, and promotional design production all in one package.

■ Future Development

We will broadly support food service operators and accommodation facilities in Japan, including cafes, restaurants, hotels, ryokans, and shops within commercial facilities, who are considering introducing new sweets operations or revamping existing menus.

Please feel free to consult with us if you are considering adding a trendy sweets line without changing your current store's style, incorporating unique Japanese sweets into your afternoon tea, offering dessert experiences that showcase Japanese culture for inbound tourists, or creating engaging seasonal menu updates.
