Pursuit of M&A (Domestic and Overseas)
Strategic M&A that Addresses the Diversification of Food Culture
Domestic
One and a half years have passed since our acquisition of Sukesan Co., Ltd. in October 2024. Our Group is integrating the brand with the procurement, production, site development, and human resource infrastructure of Skylark Group, while respecting Sukesan's history and its taste and service that bring customers back. From the very first year, the brand has delivered overwhelming results significantly exceeding expectations, evolving into a major driving force in our growth strategy.
As the next step in our strategic M&A to address diversifying food culture, our Group acquired all shares of Shinpachi Co., Ltd. in April 2026. Shinpachi operates 108 stores in Japan (company-owned and franchise, as of the end of February 2026), including the charcoal-grilled dried fish set meal restaurant Shinpachi Shokudo.
Overseas
As a pillar of our strategic M&A in overseas markets, Suki-Ya, a shabu-shabu brand for the Muslim community in Malaysia that we acquired in January 2025, has achieved growth exceeding our expectations one year after integration.
