A Japanese entrepreneur making it in America. Teaching people how to build systems, culture, and leadership for business.
Bringing the Japanese Mindset to the American Hospitality Business.

I want to translate between cultures and business thinking for you!

I’m Yosuke Shingu, a restaurant owner, entrepreneur, and filmmaker. I came to the U.S. from Japan at 17. Today I help run Akai Sushi & Izakaya, a high-end sushi restaurant, while building businesses in marketing, media, and hospitality.

On this channel, I break down what I’m learning in real time:
• Restaurant management and operations
• Japanese work principles applied to American business
• Entrepreneurship and personal growth
• Behind-the-scenes of running a sushi restaurant

If you’re a restaurant owner, entrepreneur, manager, or someone who wants to improve their leadership and mindset, this channel is for you.

Subscribe and learn how to build better systems, lead better teams, and keep improving every day.

Most restaurant owners are working hard every single day… but they’re stuck doing the wrong work.

There are 3 speeds every restaurant runs on:

5 Days (Kaizen) - Daily execution, shift-level fixes, 1% improvements. Your team owns this.

5 Months (Omotenashi) - Training, culture, team-fit decisions. Your GM owns this.

5 Years (Shokunin) - Vision, expansion, legacy. YOU own this.

The problem? Most owners are buried in the 5-day speed and never make it to the work that actually grows the business.

If you want to scale without burning out, you have to delegate the speed and own the level.

Your team runs 5 days. Your GM runs 5 months. You run 5 years.

That’s the shift that changes everything.

If this hit different, follow the channel. I share frameworks like this every week to help restaurant owners stop surviving and start building something that lasts.
