About AFURI

AFURI Inc. originated with the opening of its flagship store, ZUND-BAR, in Atsugi, Kanagawa in 2001, followed by AFURI Ebisu in 2003. Today, AFURI operates 21 stores across Japan.

From the beginning, AFURI has used the pristine water from Mt. Ōyama in the Tanzawa Mountains as its soup base. Its clear, delicate broth is made from fresh whole chicken, aromatic vegetables, and seafood. AFURI values the natural flavor of ingredients, carefully crafting its “dashi” soup stock without artificial coloring, preservatives, or MSG to ensure safe and delicious products every day.

AFURI’s stores are designed to be minimal, bright, and clean. The brand has expanded internationally to cities with sophisticated food culture, including Portland, Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, and Hong Kong.
