SUSHI JAPAN CEO
Tatsumi Tomita
After starting my business in Tokyo in 2012, I became fascinated with snow resort business opportunities. I
studied resort management in various locations including Hakuba Village and Iida City in Nagano, Yuzawa City
in Niigata, and Whistler in Canada, before launching my business in the Niseko-Kutchan area in 2014.
Through my food service and other business ventures, I was invited by international tourists to visit
various countries including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand. These experiences strengthened my
desire to share the appeal of Japanese hospitality and cuisine with more people.
While researching how to better serve tourists, I discovered many visitors to Niseko faced various inconveniences such as "difficulty making group restaurant reservations," "limited family-friendly dining options," and "lack of transportation to restaurants." I also noticed that some dining establishments were offering services at prices that weren't always reasonable.
That's why in 2018, we launched our private chef and sushi catering service, carefully selecting chefs with
exceptional quality and hospitality in this region to deliver authentic Japanese quality at reasonable
prices to tourists visiting Japan. Our chefs travel directly to our customers' accommodations to provide
this service.
To date, SUSHI JAPAN has served over 1,100 customers and has grown into one of the region's leading catering
services with many repeat customers.
We put our heart into every dish and every detail of our customer service. However, if you are ever
unsatisfied with our food or service, please don't hesitate to contact me directly at my personal email
address (tatsumi.tomita@gmail.com).
I promise to sincerely listen to customer feedback and work with our staff to continuously improve the
quality of our food and service.
We hope that all visitors from around the world will have a wonderful time during their stay in the Niseko
area.
This is our sincere wish.
SUSHI JAPAN Exclusive Chef
Kazuya Iida
After graduating from a culinary school, I trained for about 7 years in sushi and Japanese restaurants in
Sapporo.
I then became the managing director of the family-owned 'Nagomi no Yado Iida' in Shikotan, a famous scenic
area in Hokkaido.
I am passionate about offering hospitality using Hokkaido's stunning scenery and high-quality seafood and
vegetables.
In 2017, Tatsumi Tomita, the CEO of SUSHI JAPAN, visited our inn and shared his vision for this service.
After hearing his enthusiasm to provide exceptional food and service to customers in the world-renowned
Niseko resort area,
I agreed to launch a sushi catering service in 2018.
Despite the challenges of high rent and costs in the Niseko area, we have focused on providing high-quality
food and service through catering rather than opening a restaurant.
Thanks to our many customers, reservations have become increasingly difficult, and we apologize for any
inconvenience caused.
However, we are committed to offering heartfelt hospitality to every guest.
SUSHI JAPAN Service Manager
Hiromi Iida
At SUSHI JAPAN, I have the privilege of serving international guests visiting Niseko during the winter season with our private sushi catering service.
When I first started, I was often challenged by language barriers and cultural differences. However, thanks to the many warmhearted guests I’ve met along the way, I’ve continued to learn and refine our service through every experience.
Today, I am confident that we provide a memorable dining experience and hospitality that make our guests truly glad they chose SUSHI JAPAN. It’s a great honor that so many families and friends from around the world return to us each year during their stay in Niseko.
Seeing our guests smile and hearing them say, “We’d love to book again next time we visit Niseko,” gives me deep joy and a strong sense of purpose.
We aim to be like a "family in Niseko" for our guests — offering heartfelt, personalized hospitality for every party we serve.
