Irasshaimase!


Japan Centre Group Ltd

Japan Centre Group Ltd began life in 1976 with a suitcase full of Japanese books and an inspired idea to cater for the community of Japanese people living in London. 

It has since grown to become one of the largest and most influential Japanese retailers in the UK & Europe, adding a supermarket, bakery, deli, homeware department, online services and wholesale division to its repertoire, as well as Shoryu Ramen restaurants. 

In July 2018, Japan Centre Group, alongside Cool Japan Fund  opened the largest Japanese Food Hall in Europe - ICHIBA located in Westfield London. 

In October 2020, we rebranded our fine dining restaurant, Sakagura into an old school style restaurant that offered regional ramens and soul food called Heddon Yokocho.

We would like to welcome you to the Japan Centre team!
