Our Culture

From our humble beginnings as a small basement restaurant in the heart of Cheltenham, to the emerging group of restaurants you see today, there’s something that has always united us. A passion and love for Japanese food and drink, and that lightbulb moment when you find people who, like you, love to share that passion.

It’s what makes our teams seem more like a family, a shared interest to explore the flavours of Japan, and a shared passion in delivering the perfect KIBOU experience to our guests.

Whether you’ve just discovered Japanese food and drink or are honing your skills in the art of Japanese cuisine, we’re thrilled to be on this journey with you, and, as a company, will offer you all the support you need to achieve your goals.

Why work with us?

We’re proud to be a people first business. We’re a warm and generous bunch who believe as much in the individual as the team, so there’s plenty of opportunity to carve a career with us, and plenty of like-minded individuals to celebrate your success with along the way.

From our super skilled sushi and hot kitchen chefs, to our warm and welcoming front of house staff, you’ll be joining a team who all share the same passion in delivering the best guest experience and ensuring that our restaurants are a fun and rewarding place to work.
