  Japanese restaurant "Nonki" ＊ President

  

  We'd like to offer the same taste and service as a restaurant in Japan. We do our best and welcome all of you.

  Ms. Ging-ging is busy bustling about with seven restaurants in Cebu, Lapu-lapu, Mandaue, and Davao. Nonki's secret is “good service, good food, good price” she often visits Japan and checks out restaurant kitchens. A customer told us "she always visits all the tables with a smile." That's the secret to Nonki's popularity.

  Mt.Fuji Corporation ＊ CEO

  

  I wanted to have a business in Cebu! So I started a car wheel & parts business. My goal is to reach 1 billion in sales!

  My colleague invited me to start a business in the Philippines! Actually, we didn't have a business, so after thinking about the type of work I wanted to do, we began our current business importing and selling car parts and OZ Racing & Sparco Wheels.

  

  Let's continue to grow
  together with our company!
