Ryoshokujitsugyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director & President: Shinnosuke Fuse; hereinafter "the Company"), which operates the ramen restaurant "Dotonbori Kamukura," will refresh its management philosophy system as Kamukura approaches its 40th anniversary.
The Company believes that the essence of the foodservice industry is not just to satisfy the stomach, but also the "heart." Through delicious meals and enriching moments, we aim to move our customers' hearts and deliver memorable experiences, thereby extending the circle of joy and happiness from our stores to society. To accelerate this challenge, we define our business as the "Heart-Moving Industry" and establish "Work with heart, move hearts." as our new mission. We will also set six shared values (6 VALUES) and a spirit (SPIRIT) for all employees to promote organizational development that embodies this mission.
■ CEO Message ~On the Refreshment of the Management Philosophy System~
"Kamukura" began in 1986 as a small 4-tsubo (approx. 13 sqm) 9-seat restaurant in Dotonbori, Osaka, and in 1992, we started our journey as Ryoshokujitsugyo Co., Ltd. Our work's essence lies in not just satisfying the hunger of our customers with delicious food, but also delivering heart-moving experiences through those moments.
In 2026, under the new philosophy of "Work with heart, move hearts.", we have redefined our business not as the "foodservice industry" but as the "Heart-Moving Industry." Each person's work creates value, moves people's hearts, and spreads throughout society. We will continue to create this chain reaction.
We will accelerate the domestic and international expansion of "Kamukura" to build the world's number one ramen chain, and simultaneously welcome attractive brands through M&A to promote the formation of a ramen conglomerate. On the other hand, we will promote the development of multi-format businesses beyond ramen, growing into a company that aims to be the world's best in the foodservice industry.
And we will not confine ourselves to the framework of the foodservice industry. As a "Heart-Moving Industry" that continues to create value that moves people's hearts, we will create new global standards and continue to challenge ourselves to become the company most needed by customers worldwide.
We will continue to create the future of the "Heart-Moving Industry."
