Bringing Japanese Yakiniku Culture to the World with Local Adaptations

At NIKUNO YOICHI, our mission is simple: “Bringing smiles to the world with the finest meat and rice.”

Following the success of our Penang outlet, the upcoming Uptown Damansara location will offer a more refined blend of yakiniku and entertainment, aiming to make the deliciousness of Japan a familiar part of everyday life in Malaysia. We are committed to sharing authentic Japanese yakiniku culture with the world.

"The first Malaysian outlet opened in April 2024 in Georgetown, Penang. by sourcing whole wagyu cattle through exclusive channels, we are able to offer premium A5 wagyu at more affordable prices than our competitors — with A5 wagyu kalbi priced at just RM35 for 80g.

We also plan to expand our franchise network across Malaysia in the near future.

"NIKUNO YOICHI" to Open Second Malaysian Outlet in Petaling Jaya, Selangor on May 5, 2025

The campaign introduces an exquisite range of added-value products, including PDO olive oils, table olives, dried grapes, saffron, hard cheese, gum, and gum oil from Greece, as well as dairy products, candied fruits, chocolates, confectionery, and salty snacks from Latvia. The initiative is built on four main objectives: first, to raise awareness of these high-quality European products; second, to enhance their recognition among consumers; third, to drive an increase in consumption; and ultimately, to boost exports of these European products to Canada, Malaysia, and South Korea.

EU’s Commitment to Quality: Understanding the Labels

The European Union's commitment to quality is represented by the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) labels. These labels protect the names of products that originate from specific regions and have qualities or reputations linked to their production territory. The differences between PDO and PGI primarily relate to how much of the product’s raw materials must come from the area and how much of the production process must take place within the specific region. These factors are important indicators of authenticity and excellence.

Protected Designation of Origin (PDO): This label ensures that a product is produced, processed, and developed in a specific location, with qualities or characteristics that are intrinsically tied to its geographical environment. For example, the renowned "Krokos Kozanis" saffron from Greece is a PDO product, celebrated for its distinctive aroma and vibrant color, grown exclusively in the Kozani region.

PGI (Protected Geographical Indication):Similar to PDO, PGI products emphasize relation to their geographical area. However, unlike PDO, some production or development stages can occur outside the specified region. An example is the Latvian "Jāņu Siers" (Midsummer cheese), known for its cultural significance and traditional production methods.

Premium European Products from Greece and Latvia

The "Premium European Products" campaign offers a selection of high-quality goods from Greece and Latvia, including PDO olive oils, dried grapes, saffron, hard cheeses, and dairy products like cream cheese and sour cream. These products represent Europe's rich heritage, combining time-honored traditions with strict safety and quality standards.

Greek Products: Greece contributes heaps of PDO products, including the renowned "Korinthiaki Stafida Vostizza" (Corinthian Currants) and "Graviera Kritis (Cretan Graviera Cheese), both of which are known for their distinct flavors and superior quality.

Latvian Products: Latvia offers a variety of dairy products, including curd snacks, cream cheese, and semi-hard cheeses, all made with the highest production standard, reflecting Latvia's strong dairy traditions.

The European Union’s strict regulations on food production ensure that these products meet the highest standards of safety and quality. From pesticide control to hygiene standards in processing facilities, every step of the production process is carefully monitored. Additionally, animal welfare is a key focus, with regulations ensuring that animals are raised in environments that prioritize their well-being.

This initiative is supported by two prominent organizations: the National Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Greece (ETHEAS) and the Latvian Dairy Committee (LDC). Both organizations are dedicated to promoting the most prestigious products from their respective countries, reinforcing the reputation of European goods on the global stage.

This strategic partnership unites Midori Climate Partner, a Singapore-based leader in carbon credit development and ecosystem restoration, with MITSUSHO, a leading provider of GHG consultation and ESG services in Malaysia. The collaboration will provide comprehensive project structuring support to biomass suppliers—including food processing factories, forest management companies, and farmers' cooperatives—who will act as project owners.

Project owners, who will supply biomass waste such as coconut shells, durian seeds, and wood chips, will benefit from several key advantages. The financial support from carbon credit sales enables the development of high-quality projects, providing opportunities to generate profits, supply biochar-based organic fertilizer to community farmers at affordable prices, implement advanced waste management through a circular economy model, and produce green energy.

We are actively seeking biomass suppliers who can provide substantial quantities of biomass waste for our initiative. In Malaysia, we are particularly interested in coconut shells, fruit seeds, wood chips, and pulp sludge, though we are open to other suitable materials as well.

The Capacity Building Programme for
Reducing Recycling-Related Marine Plastic Pollution in ASEAN Cities (CaRMPAC
Project) will be officially launched on 16 August 2024 in Vientiane, Lao PDR.
This significant regional initiative is designed to address the pressing issue
of marine plastic pollution through targeted capacity building and
implementation strategies. In conjunction with the launch, the outcomes of
Phase 1 of the project have been published, including the Situation Assessment
Reports and Technical Guidelines for six key ASEAN cities, which aimed at
preventing plastic and resin pellet leakage from recycling facilities.&nbsp;

Publication of Situation
Assessment and Technical Guidelines&nbsp;

Phase 1 of the CaRMPAC Project
focused on a comprehensive situation assessment and the development of
technical guidelines, which aimed at preventing plastic and resin pellet
leakage from recycling facilities. This phase covered six key ASEAN cities: Pattaya,
Nonthaburi, Hanoi, Iloilo, Manila, and Vientiane. The situation assessment
revealed critical factors contributing to plastic leakage. That resulted in the
creation of technical guidelines&nbsp;and manuals tailored to each city to
improve recycling process and practices to prevent plastic leakage across both
formal and informal sectors. The outcomes of Phase 1, including the Situation
Assessment Reports and Technical Guidelines, have been published and are
available for free access <a href="https://rkcmpd-eria.org/our-project/situation-assessment-and-technical-guidelines-for-plastics-and-resin-pellets-leakage-prevention-from-factories-and-informal-sector-in-asean" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;

Launching Phase 2: Capacity
Building Programme&nbsp;

Following the successful completion
of Phase 1, Phase 2 of the CaRMPAC Project aims to expand its reach to
additional cities and countries, including Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City,
Bandung, Davao City, and others. Over the next 24 months, this phase will address
the capacity gaps identified in Phase 1, with a particular focus on informal plastic
recyclers and relevant city government regulators. The objective is to promote
responsible recycling practices and sustainable plastic management through
enhanced training, increased awareness, and improved regulatory support.&nbsp;

The CaRMPAC Project is being implemented by the
Asian Institute of Technology’s Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the
Pacific, with support from the Regional Knowledge Centre for Marine Plastic
Debris of ERIA and the ASEAN Secretariat.
