Fun International Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Ryuji Fukuda) will open the "Sumiloman LINKS UMEDA Store," its first location in Osaka, on Monday, April 27, 2026, on the 8th floor of the Osaka/Umeda landmark "LINKS UMEDA." This new store will retain the Kyoto-like charm and the lively atmosphere of charcoal cooking, while also offering a unique Umeda experience that caters to lunch and families.

--- ## ■ The excitement of gathering around a hearth. The joy of "robatayaki" loved in Kyoto, now in Umeda. The highlight of Sumiloman is the live experience of watching charcoal-grilled dishes being prepared right before your eyes. The LINKS UMEDA store will be the **first to introduce "Irori-yaki" (primitive grilling),** which has gained immense popularity at its sister stores "Sushi Sumiloman" and "Hyakusumiloman" in Kyoto.

This traditional technique involves standing fish around a charcoal fire and slowly grilling them with far-infrared rays, resulting in a finish where **"the skin is crispy and fragrant, and the flesh is surprisingly plump and juicy."** The spectacle of food being grilled dynamically right in front of you is full of live atmosphere and will make your dining experience even more vibrant.

In a warm space adorned with reclaimed wood, we offer a moment where you can feel the charm and bustle of Kyoto while being in the heart of the city.

--- ## ■ Carefully selected meats and seafood...
