Careers
When I opened a restaurant in Canada, I was deeply struck by the respect that society shows those who work in food service. Around the world, businesses leverage the strength of the “Japanese” brand to grow their restaurant sectors—returning the rewards and profits to their home countries.
Japanese cuisine deserves to be celebrated as one of our nation’s truly world-class cultural exports. Yet within Japan, relentless competition and a growth-at-all-costs mentality have exhausted operators, eroded workers’ pride, and fostered a culture of burnout and instability. This situation feels fundamentally wrong, and it begs the question: How did we allow it to happen?
At Aburi, we refuse to accept the status quo. We question every assumed norm—reimagining management practices, work styles, and our relationship with society—to pursue the future this industry truly deserves.
As a genuine Japanese brand succeeding on the global stage, our mission is to reinvest those gains into Japan’s food infrastructure and workforce, building an industry we can proudly share with the world. By creating meaningful value that rises above short-term price battles, we aim to carve out a true blue ocean.
We are looking for partners who share this vision. Let’s focus not on lamenting the present, but on shaping the ideal tomorrow—together.
