Limited to 1-2 people per year. Would you like to try demonstrating and selling traditional Japanese sweets such as goheimochi and dango, which have been preserved for 33 years as "authentic flavors"?
Kiso Narai-juku Kimura is a Japanese confectionery brand that has been selling continuously for 33 years at department stores and large supermarket events nationwide.
You will be responsible for the entire operation of the booth, from booth setup to cooking, customer service, and dismantling, through live demonstrations of Goheimochi (rice cakes) and Dango (rice dumplings).
Estimated Startup Cost:Up to ¥1,000,000
Industry:Food & Beverage/Delivery
The biggest burden when starting a business is the initial investment.
We have a system in place to minimize that risk.
• Franchise fee: 0 yen
• Royalty fee: 0 yen
• Dedicated baking machine: Free rental
• Common equipment: Free rental if in stock
Startup costs, excluding vehicles, are approximately 200,000 to 500,000 yen.
Furthermore, we have a system in place to advance initial investment and product procurement costs, which are then offset once profits are generated.
Our policy is to prevent a situation where "lack of funds prevents you from taking on the challenge."
This is our 33rd fiscal year.
Without changing the types or number of products, sales continue to rise steadily.
This is not a product that is influenced by trends;
It is a brand supported by many years of experience and trust.
We sometimes receive requests from event organizers, and our strength lies in the value of "history" that cannot be replicated on social media.
If you protect your know-how and work honestly, the environment for sales is already in place.
In this industry, a structure often develops where only the top earners make money, while those at the bottom do not.
Our company does not operate that way.
We assess the capacity of our operations and gradually increase staff to maintain a balance between supply and demand.
We recruit only 1-2 people per year.
Headquarters controls the operations, creating a system where everyone has a fair chance.
This is a healthy business model where effort and persistence lead to profits.
200,000 to 500,000 yen (excluding vehicles)

Joined in February 2023
Initial investment: Around 300,000 yen (equipment necessary for sales)

We offer a training period of approximately 2-4 months (daily wage of 5,000 yen).
You will learn practical skills on-site, covering:
Product knowledge
Cooking methods
Sales know-how
Hygiene management
Inventory management and sales forecasting
The period is short and certainly not easy.
However, overcoming this period will equip you with the skills to stand on your own.
These 2-4 months are the crucial period.
Our on-site staff will provide thorough support, so please rest assured.
This business is not an "easy money" opportunity.
Event sales require both physical and mental strength.
However,
✔ You seriously want to make a comeback
✔ You want to regain your income through your own efforts
✔ You can work hard and diligently
For such people,
there is a great opportunity.
