SANKO MARKETING FOODS Inc.

Founded

Established

In February 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our company faced a situation where simply continuing to operate our main business, restaurants, would not be enough for survival. While there have been moments in our 46-year history where the company's existence was threatened, there has never been a time when the entire business had to be completely halted for an extended period. This was truly a critical moment for us.

Established an internal company proposal system. Creating a structure to realize all possibilities. In response to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic starting in spring 2020, we reviewed our strategy of opening large-scale izakaya outlets mainly in urban entertainment districts, and made a major shift. We also saw this crisis as an opportunity to create new businesses. Going forward, our company will shift to a management style that balances the restaurant and fisheries businesses, working together with local producers to create new added value and contribute to society as a bridge between producers and consumers. We will challenge diversification of added value, adapt to changing times, and strive toward our 50th anniversary.
