Participated · Series B · Dec 2025
byFood operates an online platform where international travelers can reserve Japanese food experiences such as sushi-making classes or ramen tours. Each booking triggers the donation of ten nutritious school meals through partner organizations, and the company has cumulatively provided more than one million meals via its Food for Happiness program. The business was founded on the belief that food can connect travelers, local communities, and children, creating both cultural exchange and social impact. Fresh capital will be directed toward curated, multi-layered offerings that pair food with sports, entertainment IP, traditional crafts, spiritual heritage, and nature-based activities. Rather than pursuing hyper-growth, management emphasizes purposeful, sustainable expansion and investment in mission-aligned talent. With Japan targeting 60 million inbound visitors by 2030, byFood intends to position itself as a key facilitator of responsible tourism and regional economic vitality. The recent Series B financing of ¥6.4 billion strengthens its balance sheet to support these ambitions.
