Itcho Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Kenichiro Kusumoto), a subsidiary of Via Holdings and operator of the large seafood izakaya 'Uoya Itcho' in Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Saitama, will open 'Sushi Itcho Yachiyo Midorigaoka' as a 'town sushi' shop where customers can casually drop by on days when they think, 'Let's have some sushi today,' located on a roadside within walking distance of Yachiyo Midorigaoka Station on the Toyo Rapid Railway Line.
Background of Opening This Yachiyo Midorigaoka store is the first 'town sushi' format under the 'Itcho' brand. Until now, 'Uoya Itcho' has operated as a large seafood izakaya in city locations, receiving patronage from many customers. As the next step leveraging the accumulated 'Delicious Hokkaido ingredients' and the brand know-how of 'Itcho,' the company will take on the new challenge of a 'sushi restaurant for everyday use,' utilizing the procurement and product strengths cultivated through the izakaya business. The goal is to become a store loved by the local community, where families can casually dine out or couples can enjoy a quick drink whenever they think, 'Let's eat some delicious sushi!'
What is Sushi Itcho? 'Sushi Itcho,' with the concept of 'authentic non-rotating sushi with the ease of conveyor-belt sushi,' has its greatest strength in the gap between 'authenticity' and 'casualness.' Using rice finished by a rice mill in the store and served by chefs behind the counter in a genuine style, it avoids the stuffiness of high-end restaurants. It offers a homely space where customers can casually drop by on holidays. Lunch is available for around 1,000 yen, and dinner also starts from the 1,000 yen range, with reasonable prices allowing customers to enjoy delicious sushi and drinks without hesitation.
