About Us

Founded in June 2013, we recognized the potential of Japanese cuisine and the growing global focus on health. Washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine) was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in December 2013, followed by traditional sake brewing in December 2024. As global demand grew and became a pillar of the Japanese government's national tourism strategy, we continued to pioneer Japanese cooking classes for international visitors—earning numerous awards from TripAdvisor, the world's largest review platform. Today, we focus on nurturing the next generation of chefs and entrepreneurs while developing new businesses to further promote Japanese food culture.

Against a backdrop of growing global interest in Japanese cuisine and health, Japanese tea exports have more than doubled over the past decade. Our director, Masashi Togami, brings over 10 years of experience in premium Japanese sake product development and international market expansion. Anticipating rising demand for Japanese tea—particularly in global markets—we launched our premium Japanese tea business in October 2023. We are currently developing new products, expanding our portfolio, and building retail, e-commerce, and distribution channels to support sustainable growth both domestically and internationally. International visitors to our Japanese cooking classes have also shown strong interest in Japanese products beyond tea, and we offer original food products as well as lifestyle apparel and items.

We are planning to open a salon where guests can experience a variety of Japanese teas—centered on YUCa's Tea—paired with Japanese cuisine and sweets. The opening date will be announced.
