    Korean franchise companies are intensifying their efforts to penetrate the Japanese market. Currently, 19 Korean F&B franchises operate 133 stores across Japan. In 2024, Mom’s Touch (burgers), Kkanbu Chicken (Korean-style chicken), and Hollys Coffee (scheduled to open in May) newly entered the market. As the growth rate of domestic franchises slowed from 34.5% (2021) to 11.4% (2022) and 8.1% (2023), Japan, with its population of 125.1 million, has emerged as a key destination for overseas expansion. Japanese consumers’ interest in Korean food is also rapidly increasing due to the popularity of K-dramas and K-pop.
