DOMAINAbout our seven businesses

Creative!

Let us create a “Enjoy & Entertainment” business from “Food.”

POTOMAK’s seven businesses:
As a creative company with a focus on “Food” we develop original businesses in different fields, such as restaurant operation, production, event production, designing, and hotel operation. Our aim is to create new values in order to grow the circle of “Enjoyment.” Thanks to the connections with various people, each of our project thrives and shines. That is what POTOMAK’s business is about.

CAFE
RESTAURANT
Cafe and resraurant business

“We use creativity in making up restaurants
according to the locations
and the class of customers.”

We project and operate multiple brands of dining and drinking establishements only POTOMAK can create; such as cafes, restaurants, bars, and Japanese style restaurants centering around Kansai and Kanto areas. We have expanded our operations and currently manage approximately 100 establishments. Over 30 years ago, we opened “Restaurant Bar TOOTH TOOTH” in Tor West Kobe. POTOMAK started from a tiny place of only 10 tsubo(1 tsubo is approximately 3.3 square meters, thus 33.3 square meters). After the earthquake disaster, we came to believe that “restaurant business not only fills customers’ stomachs but also their hearts.” We endevour to create restaurants which match the locations appropriately and fill the hearts of customers who live there. Each of our restaurants has its own story. We believe that growing together with our customers invigorates the town and represents POTOMAK’s contribution to the community.

SWEETS Sweets business

“PATISSERIE TOOTH TOOTH”
is a western style confectionary shop
started and developed in Kobe.

With a focus on Kobe sweets made by “PATISSERIE TOOTH TOOTH” we operate sweets business offering cakes, fresh sweets, and baked confectioneries.
We develop and make products in our company’s Atelier, and participate in special events.
A quote by a pastry chef: “One can live without sweets. But sweets can bring joy.
That’s why I make them.” The magic of sweets makes people smile. We offer sweets which are created by a marriage between the“playful minds”of artisan pastry chefs and their careful, at times mischievous strong preference for cake making.
