Japanese sushi chain GATTEN SUSHI lands in HK

Japan’s F&B group RDC Group has opened its first GATTEN SUSHI (合點迴轉壽司) conveyor belt restaurant in Hong Kong as part of its expansion into Asia.

Atsushi Kurachi, managing director, RDC Hong Kong Company, said: "Hong Kong is strategically located in the heart of Asia; it is an ideal place for us to manage our business in the region.”

Currently, with over 260 stores in Mainland China, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam, Kurachi said RDC Group plans to continue expanding in the region and aims to establish Hong Kong as its future regional headquarters for further expansion.

"Many Japanese conveyor belt sushi chains have already established their presence in Hong Kong and are well received by local customers. We want to leverage the mature market in the city to bring our authentic sushi to customers here,” Kurachi said. 

The new restaurant, which spans over 3,000 square feet and has 77 seats, is located at AEON STYLE Kornhill in Quarry Bay, providing an array of authentic Edo-style sushi. Sushi chefs will also showcase their sushi-making skills in front of customers, according to Kurachi.  

RDC Group was one of the members joining last year's food and beverage delegation to Hong Kong co-organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Tokyo (Tokyo ETO) and InvestHK, according to the release.

Jimmy Chiang, associate director-general of investment promotion, ​Invest Hong Kong, said: "We are happy to see that RDC Group has opened its own shop after coming to Hong Kong and witnessing the city's positive food and beverage market. I am sure their move will lead to great success in their business in Hong Kong and beyond."
