Japanese restaurant group opens first GATTEN SUSHI conveyor belt restaurant in Hong Kong
Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) announced that RDC Group from Japan officially opened its first GATTEN SUSHI conveyor belt restaurant in Hong Kong today (September 12), offering a wide range of affordable sushi freshly made in-store by skilled sushi chefs.
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. Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang 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."
The new restaurant, which spans over 3 000 square feet and has 77 seats, is located at AEON STYLE Kornhill in Quarry Bay, providing authentic Edo-style sushi. According to the Managing Director of RDC Hong Kong Company Limited, Mr Atsushi Kurachi, sushi chefs will showcase their sushi-making skills in front of customers.
Mr Kurachi 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. We have over 260 outlets worldwide, covering Mainland China, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. We will keep expanding our presence in the region and hope to use the city as our regional headquarters in the future for our expansion."
He added, "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."
