Stories behind Brand Names

Gusto（Since 1992）

'Gusto' in Spanish means 'to like' and 'to taste with joy'. We offer a casual home-like dining experience with great tasting food at affordable prices.

Bamiyan（Since 1986）

The name comes from the ancient city of Bamiyan in Afghanistan. Bamiyan is a city that existed along the ancient silk road, a city where eastern and western culture merged. It was a trading hub and also a place where merchants stopped to rest after travelling from afar. Bamiyan restaurants aspire to become a place where people gather, rest and have a great time.

Jonathan's（Since 1980）

Jonathan's has been inspired by the American coffee shop. The restaurant has been named after a popular boy's name in America with the aim of becoming a casual restaurant with a friendly atmosphere providing food and services at affordable prices.

Yumean（Since 1994）

The restaurant was named after Ryu Keiichiro's novel "Ichimuan Furyuki". The main character in the novel is a man who was modern with a unique sense of beauty, who disliked catering to powerful or authoritative figures and always had an objective view of society. Yumean is an embodiment of this concept, a slightly fancy restaurant where people can dress up and have a unique experience at affordable prices.

Steak Gusto（Since 2010）

The restaurant concept is 'Casual Feast'. Named for serving delicious steak and hamburger dishes with a generous salad bar in a casual dining atmosphere like Gusto.

Grazie Gardens（Since 2001）

'Grazie' means 'Thank you' in Italian. Our logo comes from the 'G' in Grazie. We serve authentic pasta and pizza made to every order. We also have a variety of antipasto and salads using seasonal vegetables and produce, and serve all our dishes at affordable prices.

Aiya（Since 1983）

'Ai' is the color indigo in Japanese, and the restaurant name comes from the Chinese proverb 'Although blue dye comes from the indigo plant、it is bluer than indigo' (meaning the student may outgrow the teacher). This name was chosen in the hope that Aiya will grow and exceed its 'teacher' - Skylark.

Totoyamichi（Since 1999）

During the Edo era, fresh fish caught in the waters of Fukae, Hyogo was carried by merchants over the steep Rokko mountains to the Arima Onsen (Hotsprings). This path became known as the 'Totoyamichi' (fish merchant's path). Our restaurant was named after this path, where merchants worked hard to deliver fresh fish to guests staying at the onsen and also because it symbolizes our quest to search for fresh and great tasting food.
