Business Details
A dinner restaurant business operating a total of 14 stores, comprising 6 Japanese restaurants (UKAI Toriyama, each Tofu-ya UKAI location, Ginza and Roppongi Kappou UKAI) and 8 Western restaurants (each UKAI-tei location, Grill UKAI Marunouchi, and Le Poulet Brasserie UKAI). Food and beverage sales revenue forms the core (¥10,369 million in FY2025 (ended March 2025)), with management policy focused on raising average customer spend through revisions to course composition and pricing structures, and pursuing the highest level of hospitality. While recovering inbound demand is a tailwind, rising labor and raw material costs are pressuring profitability.
Recent Overview
Cumulative 3Q sales rose 3.9% year on year to ¥8,428 million, an increase in revenue. However, visitor numbers fell short of the prior year.
Cumulative sales for the Restaurant Division in the first nine months of FY2026 (ending March 2026) (April–December 2025) were ¥8,428 million (up 3.9% year on year). Higher average customer spend supported sales, but overall visitor numbers at existing stores fell below the prior year. In addition, the loss of sales from the closure of 'UKAI Chikutei' at the end of November 2024 was a negative factor. Meanwhile, the company is working to enhance the customer experience through revisions to pricing structures, including course content and service charges, and by optimizing its operating structure. Note that, due to the expiration of its lease term, the closure of 'Tokyo Shiba Tofu-ya UKAI' has been decided, and a provision for store closure losses of ¥239 million was recorded as an extraordinary loss.
Key Products
Growth Drivers

Risks
- Chronic labor shortages keeping labor costs elevated and increasing recruitment costs
- Risk of cost ratio deterioration due to rising raw material prices
- Suppression of consumer dining-out spending and decline in visitor numbers due to prolonged inflation
- Loss of sales from the closure of 'Tokyo Shiba Tofu-ya UKAI' due to expiration of its lease term (a provision for store closure losses of ¥239 million already recorded)
- Temporary increase in depreciation expense due to a change in the estimate of asset retirement obligations (an additional ¥237,749 thousand recorded)
