Retty, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Masaya Hirano), operator of the real-name gourmet review and reservation site 'Retty,' will celebrate its 15th anniversary on May 30, 2026. Over the past 15 years, supported by user recommendations and restaurants nationwide, Retty has aimed to help every individual find their 'best' restaurant. To commemorate this milestone, the company is launching a special project, 'People and Restaurants That Changed Someone's Dining Experience,' to highlight the dining experiences created through user reviews. Through these posts, Retty aims to deliver the value of 'finding restaurants based on recommendations from trusted people' to more users.
Since its launch in June 2011, Retty has grown as a service that supports encounters with restaurants, centered on user recommendations. The reviews accumulated over these 15 years are not just information, but records of individual dining experiences that encourage others in their restaurant selection.
In the special project, Retty selected influential users and restaurants based on internal data. We introduce contributors not just as 'reviewers,' but as people who have supported others' restaurant choices, and restaurants not just as 'listed venues,' but as places that have enriched users' dining experiences.
Akira Sugihara, selected as a person who has supported others' restaurant choices, has posted on over 6,000 restaurants and has over 24,000 followers. 'Shokudo Todaka' in Gotanda, selected as a place that has enriched dining experiences, continues to be loved by many users for its warm atmosphere and cuisine.
President Masaya Hirano stated, 'The value of Retty lies in the fact that people's recommendations change someone's dining experience,' and reaffirmed the company's commitment to its vision of 'Creating new food experiences and making life happier.'
