T-NEXT Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Group Representative and CEO: Noriaki Takahashi; hereinafter “T-NEXT”) is pleased to announce that it entered into a basic agreement on September 4, 2026, with Tasteless Food Group (Head Office: Quezon City, Republic of the Philippines; Representative: Charles Paw; hereinafter “Tasteless”), which operates numerous food and beverage brands and establishments across the Philippines, to expand Japanese food concepts in the Philippine market.
Background and Purpose
T-NEXT is a food content platform company guided by the vision of “Bringing Happiness to the World Through Food,” with a mission to contribute to humanity through food content. Since its founding, T-NEXT has acquired global licensing rights for a diverse portfolio of leading Japanese brands across categories including ramen, sweets, yakitori, wagyu, and curry. Through partnerships with prominent companies around the world, T-NEXT has successfully expanded these brands into local markets while enhancing their value and presence. With “food content” at the core of its business, T-NEXT serves as a platform connecting the value of food across the globe and expects to collaborate with hundreds of partners worldwide in the years ahead.
Tasteless, meanwhile, has extensive experience in the Philippine food and beverage industry, particularly in Manila. Its portfolio includes original restaurant brands such as “Scout’s Honor” and “Your Local,” as well as food halls bringing together multiple specialty dining concepts, including “The Grid” and “Public Eatery.” Tasteless also operates numerous international brands in the Philippines, including popular brands from Japan, the UK-originated “Pizza Express,” and the US-originated “Bored & Hungry.” Through these businesses, Tasteless has built a strong track record of adapting the identity and experience of international brands, including Japanese brands, to the local market while integrating restaurant operations, product development, marketing, and brand building.
Through this basic agreement, T-NEXT and Tasteless will combine T-NEXT’s expertise in licensing and developing Japanese brands with Tasteless’s restaurant operating expertise, brand-building capabilities, local network, and established business infrastructure in the Philippine market. Together, the two companies will work to maximize the value of Japanese food content in the Philippines and drive sustainable business expansion.
Future Developments
Through this basic agreement, the two companies will jointly promote the expansion of Japanese food content in the Philippines. Tasteless will leverage its extensive experience in operating restaurants and food halls, local marketing capabilities, brand-building expertise, and broad network in the Philippines to accelerate brand expansion across the market. T-NEXT, meanwhile, will leverage its long-standing expertise in brand strategy, product development, and operational development to strongly support each brand in enhancing its value and expanding its market presence. By combining their respective business resources and expertise, the two companies aim to create new market value for Japanese food content in the Philippines.
At T-NEXT, our core business is our “Food Content Platform Business.” By expanding our operations globally, we aim to achieve an IPO on the US NASDAQ market and build a company with a market capitalization exceeding USD 100 billion, approximately JPY 15 trillion, while contributing to the happiness of people around the world.
