Is the Tokyo Metropolitan Area—
simply a place where things sell— really enough?
Tokyo and the greater metropolitan area are, without question,
places where people gather and products sell.
But if “selling” is the only goal,
that value will not be carried forward to the next generation.
KIBO Co., Ltd. goes beyond simple sales or event operations.
We uncover the culture, history, and human stories behind regional food,
and create story-driven culinary experiences as a collective of food culture producers.
We do not aim to create value that is consumed and forgotten in cities.
Instead, we strive to build value that takes root in regions
and continues to circulate over time.

SERVICE
Regional Branding (Local Value Creation)
In projects related to regional development,
KIBO provides integrated support with a strong focus on implementation.
Our work includes operational support for antenna shops,
planning and operating pop-up restaurants within regions,
product planning and development using local ingredients,
as well as market expansion and marketing support.
With food at the core, we design events, food service operations, product development, and promotion as a single ecosystem,
helping regional value to be communicated as lived experience
and established as a sustainable, ongoing business.
Food & Beverage Business (Product & Service Development)
KIBO operates a central kitchen licensed for restaurant service, prepared foods manufacturing,
and ice cream production, enabling us to handle everything
from menu planning and development to production in-house.
Chefs trained at the Carpigiani Gelato University utilize gelato machines, shock freezers, and soft-serve machines,
carefully controlling overrun to design frozen desserts
that maximize ingredient character and texture.
Through product development tailored to purpose and context—
including retail, events, and commercial distribution—
we deliver products that balance high quality with reproducibility.
Consulting (Business Support & Growth)
We support the creation of efficient and sustainable management structures
through business improvement initiatives, operational systemization, and DX promotion.
Rather than offering advice alone,
we work hands-on within organizations to reorganize and redesign
entire business processes.
Drawing on experience across agriculture, local governments, and IT-related fields,
we provide continuous, hands-on support
to build the foundations for long-term business growth.
Marketing
From market research and product development
to advertising, promotion, sales, and distribution,
we provide marketing support tailored to each stage of the business.
We also offer workshops focused on organizing brand information
and defining concepts,
as well as lectures on marketing and product development.
Rather than making “selling” the end goal,
we focus on creating conditions in which value is clearly communicated, trusted, and continuously chosen.
