History of Overseas Expansion

Having started the process of opening restaurants overseas in the United States in 1973, we went on to expand into Asia, starting with Taiwan. We accelerated restaurant openings in new regions throughout the 1990s, as we continued to steadily increase overseas store numbers. In the 2000s, the Yoshinoya brand began to gain widespread recognition across countries and regions where we had established a presence. Based on the expertise we have accumulated to date, we intend to establish a global framework and to continue expanding our businesses with the aim of reaching 1,500 overseas restaurants.
