Kappa Create Co Ltd is a Japanese restaurant company best known for Kappa Sushi, a conveyor-belt sushi chain. It serves sushi, rice bowls, side dishes, and drinks through dine-in restaurants, using a format that lets customers order from touchscreens and receive food quickly and consistently. The company also has some food-related business outside restaurants, but its core business is selling prepared meals through its own restaurant network.

Its main customers are everyday consumers and families looking for casual, affordable Japanese meals. Kappa Create makes money mainly by selling food and drinks in its restaurants, with the company controlling the menu, the kitchen, and the customer experience. That gives it direct contact with diners and keeps the business focused on high-volume food service rather than wholesaling to other restaurants.

What makes Kappa Create different is its role as a branded restaurant operator in the sushi category, where speed, standardization, and low-price dining matter a lot. Instead of manufacturing a product for other companies to resell, it earns money from each meal sold in its own stores, using a repeatable restaurant model built around a familiar Japanese dining format.
