About Us
JCG was an idea born form one of our staff members, who noticed his international friends were coming to Japan and going to the same tourist-oriented, westernised 'Japanese restaurants' often shared on social media and popular online websites.
Increased tourism to Japan has brought oversaturation of information, with many tourists wasting hours finding food near them, or having to plan ahead in their busy schedules or, rush through sights just to make it to a social media 'viral' restaurant that is catered directly to foreigners, and locals would never visit.
At JCG, all of our picks have been hand selected by CEO's across Japan, who are frequently required to dine-out due to Japanese business culture. Our contributors, like all Japanese people, are passionate and have pride in Japanese cuisine's deep history and wish to showcase it's uniqueness to the world.
While our products mostly offer recommendations on Japanese cuisine, our guides further showcase Westernised Japanese cuisine, which is exceptionally popular amongst locals and offers further immersion to local life.
Our mission is to create products which alleviate any stress, creating a hassle-free, affordable and one-of-a-kind experience in Japan, where you and your companions can focus on making memories, and experiencing Japanese cuisine and everything it has to offer.
