Founded in 2009 with a single bustling location in downtown Toronto, KINKA FAMILY has grown into an internationally recognized hospitality group across Canada, the United States, and Japan.
We are committed to thoughtful, intentional growth while upholding the highest standards of culinary integrity, artisanal craft, and warm hospitality. Whether through spirited izakaya greetings, delicate aburi technique, or meticulous third-wave coffee and pastry curation, we transform everyday visits into lasting memories.
At KINKA FAMILY, exceptional hospitality stems from genuine passion, teamwork, and respect for tradition. Rather than resting on past achievements, we continually challenge ourselves to share the very best of Japanese culinary and café culture with communities worldwide.
As we look ahead, our rigorous commitment to quality, spanning behind-the-counter craft, kitchen artistry, and front-of-house warmth, remains our guiding vision.
Guided by our core beliefs in shared joy, mutual growth, and continuous craft across every dining room, sushi counter, and café space we operate.
Founded on the belief that happiness is life's ultimate pursuit, we are dedicated to bringing joy to our guests, our team members, our loved ones, and ourselves. "Serving People Happiness" is our guiding purpose—the heart behind every morning pour, shared plate, and evening gathering across our brands.
Great organizations are never built by one person alone. Grounded in collaboration and mutual trust, we actively champion the growth of our team members, partners, and communities—knowing that when we succeed together, that impact enriches everyone connected to our table.
We strive to make today surpass yesterday, and tomorrow outshine today. By honoring foundational craftsmanship while evolving through curious experimentation, we never rest on past milestones. We embrace new ideas, refine every detail, and continually raise the bar for modern Japanese hospitality.
