01 CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY

From the moment we meet our customers, we strive to fulfill our customers’ satisfaction and create memorable moments that make our customers happy. In doing so, we continually challenge ourselves to reach the next level and onward to the future.

02 MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT

“Delicious” has no borders

The passion for food is what made me start my business. An appetizing aroma that stirs the appetite, the master chef’s amazing culinary skills, the heat from the kitchen as food is being prepared in front of you… all of these elements come together to create a “deliciousness” that is experienced (enjoyed/appreciated) with all the five senses instead of just with your tongue… It is our desire to bring this passion for food to as many customers as possible, and our mission is to spread it to the entire world. With each bite we want you to smile and think, “This is delicious!” We don’t speak the same language, but our customers’ smiles tell us their emotions. We, at TORIDOLL, are proud to be a company that continues to cherish these values. With our commitment to world-class hospitality, we will develop business models that respect the cultural and regional differences of each country. With our origins in Japan, we aim to become a leading global company in the restaurant industry. I believe we can open up a future of unlimited opportunities in the global market.
