FOUR SEEDS

FOUR SEEDS CORPORATION (株式会社フォーシーズ) is a Japanese food-service company that began in 1980 as an import trading firm and grew into one of Japan's most diversified restaurant and delivery groups. Its corporate philosophy is expressed as delivering "commitment to deliciousness, fun, and excitement to everyone." The group operates roughly 60 brands spanning pizza delivery, sushi delivery, casual dining, gourmet burgers, and modern French cuisine. The best-known brand in the portfolio is Pizza-La, whose first store opened in 1987 and which became a pioneer of Japanese-style delivery pizza with items such as the "Special Curry Pizza," an adaptation of Italian tradition to Japanese tastes. Other major brands include Kakiya Sushi (delivery sushi), TO THE HERBS (pizza and pasta), Kua'Aina (gourmet burgers), and Joel Robuchon, the modern French restaurant group associated with the late chef Joel Robuchon. The company also operates Japanese dining concepts such as Okamado Meshi Torafuku and Kushikatsu to Osake Dengana. FOUR SEEDS is led by chairman and CEO Sachiko Asano and group representative Hidenori Asano. The company describes its growth driver as a spirit of challenge: catching changes in the times quickly and executing the best response. Its business spans delivery, restaurant operations, and brand development, with a strong emphasis on product development and food sourcing. The group has also engaged in social contribution activities such as providing free pizza during natural disasters and participating in children's cafeterias. FOUR SEEDS maintains an active press-release and news operation, announcing new store openings, seasonal menu items, and collaborations. Recent examples include a Dr. STONE anime collaboration at Pizza-La, a Sakatsuku 2026 game tie-in, and seasonal parfaits at Joel Robuchon. The company continues to expand its brand portfolio and store network across Japan.

FOUR SEEDS was founded in 1980 as an import trading company. Its entry into food service came in 1987 with the opening of the first Pizza-La store. Pizza-La distinguished itself by adapting pizza to Japanese tastes rather than strictly following Italian tradition; the "Special Curry Pizza" became a notable early hit. Over the following decades, the company expanded into multiple food-service categories, building a portfolio that grew to around 60 brands. Key brands added over time include Kakiya Sushi (delivery sushi), TO THE HERBS (pizza and pasta), Kua'Aina (gourmet burgers), and Joel Robuchon (modern French dining). The group also operates Japanese-style concepts such as Okamado Meshi Torafuku and Kushikatsu to Osake Dengana. This diversification reflects a strategy of covering delivery, casual dining, and upscale restaurant segments. Leadership has been held by the Asano family: Sachiko Asano serves as Representative Director, Chairperson and CEO, while Hidenori Asano is Director and Group Representative. The company's stated driving force is a spirit of challenge—quickly catching changes in the times and executing the best possible response. FOUR SEEDS also emphasizes social contribution, including free pizza distribution during natural disasters and participation in children's cafeterias. In recent years, FOUR SEEDS has continued to open new stores and launch collaborations. Press releases in 2026 announced new locations for Okamado Meshi Torafuku, a Chinese restaurant Kokien at JIYUGAOKA MUSE SQUARE, a Dr. STONE collaboration at Pizza-La, and a Sakatsuku 2026 tie-in. The group remains active in product development, with Pizza-La alone developing over 100 types of pizza per year according to company content.
