"Omurice Land" Supported by Shosukabu.com Opens New Location in Sendai

Shosukabu.com Inc. (Chairman: Yutaka Yamanaka; Headquarters: Nerima-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "the Company") hereby announces that, as part of its strategic investment business in growth industries and its mid-to-long-term investment strategy, it has provided funding for the opening of a new location for "Omurice Land," an omurice specialty shop it supports, near Sendai Station.

The Company consistently adheres to a "mid-to-long-term investment purpose" aimed at strengthening sustainable business foundations and enhancing corporate value, rather than speculative investments for short-term trading gains. Through this investment, the Company will further draw out the high technical capabilities and brand potential of Omurice Land, providing strong support from both financial and management perspectives for full-scale business expansion in the Tohoku region.

1. Background and Aim of the Sendai Opening

This Sendai opening is positioned as a touchstone for full-scale brand development in the Tohoku region. Sendai is the largest city in Tohoku, possessing high customer attraction as a center of commerce, tourism, and business, as well as being an attractive market that combines local orientation with high sensitivity to new food culture. Based on these regional characteristics, Omurice Land aims to provide new dining experiences to local customers through its Sendai location, while also promoting brand penetration throughout Tohoku and contributing to the regional economy.

2. About the "Omurice Land" Brand

Omurice Land is an omurice specialty brand that originated in Hokkaido and has expanded to Sasazuka and Nerima. The owner is a skilled chef who won the Hokkaido tournament of the "Kagome Omurice Stadium 2019," and has been serving a "fluffy and melting" dish that emphasizes the cooking of the eggs, the depth of the sauce, and the harmony with the rice. Its greatest strength lies in refining menus beloved by a wide range of generations with the unique techniques and worldview of a specialty shop. The aim of balancing the comfort of everyday meals with a sense of special occasion has garnered high support from many customers.

3. The Company's Investment and Support Stance

The Company has supported Omurice Land not merely as a capital provider, but as a partner in its growth strategy and business expansion. The Company's investment policy is consistently based on "mid-to-long-term investment" founded on deep trust with investee companies, rather than speculation influenced by temporary market volatility. This Sendai opening represents an important milestone for a community-based food and beverage brand to take on challenges in a new urban area and make a further leap forward. Going forward, the Company will continue to strongly support value creation through food from a mid-to-long-term perspective, including accelerating Omurice Land's domestic expansion and considering future overseas expansion.
