Brand Tone

Lively & Energetic, Value-Oriented & Generous, Authentic & Traditional (with modern twists), Approachable & Unpretentious, Passionate about Seafood

Brand Values

• •Freshness & Quality: The cornerstone of their brand is the procurement of fresh, seasonal fish and seafood.
• •Value for Money (Cost Performance): Offering generous and high-quality meals at reasonable prices is a frequently highlighted value.
• •Customer Satisfaction: They aim to provide an enjoyable dining experience, with mentions of adapting dishes for different customer needs (e.g., smaller portions with more variety for ladies or the elderly). The company's stated concept for Bistro UOKIN is "to create exciting opportunities for everyone including our customers, our associated companies and our staff through UOKIN food."
• •Hospitality & Conviviality: Creating a welcoming and lively atmosphere where customers can enjoy good food and drinks with others. Some restaurants aim for a "community ambience."
• •Growth & Development: The group has expanded to numerous locations and diversified its restaurant concepts, indicating ambition and a drive for growth. They are even aiming for a public listing.

Best Practices

• •Emphasize Freshness & Quality Vividly: Always highlight the direct sourcing of ingredients ("dock to dish," "market-fresh daily") and the premium quality of the seafood. Use sensory language that evokes taste and freshness.
• •Maintain an Energetic and Inviting Voice: Use upbeat, positive language. Words like "vibrant," "lively," "bustling," "convivial," and "hearty" can convey the atmosphere. Keep sentences relatively concise and engaging.
• •Showcase Value Authentically: Be direct about offering great food at reasonable prices. Avoid sounding "cheap," but rather emphasize "generous portions," "excellent cost performance," or "affordable indulgence."
• •Be Approachable and Inclusive: Write in a way that welcomes everyone, from seasoned foodies to casual diners, groups of friends to families (where appropriate for the specific restaurant concept). Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining a specific culinary aspect clearly.
• •Reflect the Specific Concept (Izakaya, Bistro, Sushi): While maintaining the core Uokin values (freshness, value), slightly adapt the tone for different restaurant types. Izakaya copy can be more casual and boisterous. Bistro copy might be a bit more refined yet still warm. Sushi copy can emphasize craftsmanship and the quality of individual ingredients.
