Hotto Motto, operated by Plenus Co., Ltd., has implemented several new product and service initiatives across its Japanese locations.

In late August, the company launched the ‘Gyu Cabbage Don,’ a beef and cabbage stir-fry. This was followed by the September 1 introduction of the ‘Torikatsu Taru’ series, which includes various chicken breast bento options and a ‘Torikatsu Taru BOX’ designed for sharing.

Additionally, a new model store has opened in Shiba 4-chome, Minato Ward, Tokyo. This location features a specific design aesthetic and introduces a new service model where pre-made bento boxes are available for immediate purchase during the weekday lunch rush between 11:00 and 13:00 to reduce wait times. The store also offers exclusive menu items such as Shima Hokke Grilled Bento and Mochi Mini Beef Sukiyaki Bento.
