Background and Objectives
As a global food content platformer, T-NEXT is on a mission to share the excellence of Japanese cuisine with the world, delivering moments of joy and inspiration to people globally. Since its founding, T-NEXT has secured global licensing rights for leading Japanese food brands, ranging from ramen and sweets to yakitori, wagyu beef, and curry, and has partnered with premier companies worldwide. With many top-tier brands joining its platform, T-NEXT is now accelerating its international expansion, aiming to build a network of hundreds of trusted partners.
Caligari’s signature dish, a rich, velvety coconut curry, quickly became a sensation following the February 2024 opening of its first Hong Kong location. Featured widely in local media, the store gained immense popularity, often drawing long lines of devoted fans.
Responding to strong local demand, T-NEXT has now launched the second Hong Kong outlet of Caligari inside New Town Plaza, one of the city’s largest shopping malls. This new opening marks a key step in accelerating Caligari’s presence in the region.
Leveraging T-NEXT’s international network and operational expertise, the company plans to expand Caligari to markets around the world, with the ultimate goal of establishing it as a globally recognized Japanese curry brand.
