Highlights

Sales Overview

Same-store sales are progressing above guidance. The year-on-year decline in customer numbers is transitory (the reaction to the previous year's half-price campaign and the impact of having one fewer Sunday).

Topics

Gusto : Introduced Motsunabe supervised by the long-established Fukuoka restaurant "Yamaya" and sirloin steak sets, etc.
Syabu-Yo： Re-introduced the domestically produced beef and snow crab course, which was popular last year, for the current term.
Jonathan's：Introduced high-value-added menus using red king crab and Wakahime beef, and promoted the concurrent set menus.

Sales promotion

Distributed discount coupons as part of the "Year-End Patronage Appreciation Festival" at Gusto and Bamiyan.

Promotion

Generated buzz through online and offline approaches, including press releases, owned SNS, and newspaper inserts, to coincide with the Gusto Motsunabe Fair.

Store expansion

Opened 9 new stores and implemented 5 format conversions (results for the single month of December 2025).
Sukesan Udon made its first foray into Nara Prefecture.
Overseas: Opened 2 stores in Taiwan (Yokohama Steak) and 1 store in Malaysia (Suki-ya).

Other

Conducted emergency fundraising and soup kitchen activities by Gusto and Sukesan Udon in response to the large-scale fire in Oita City.
