"We strive to bring the authenticity of Japanese food to the global doorstep, always delivering delicious results for you."

Suzumo Machinery pioneered the modern sushi industry with the world's first sushi robot in 1981. Driven by a passion for rice, a core element of Japanese cuisine, we revolutionized sushi production. What was once a luxury is now accessible to everyone. This affordability fueled sushi's global popularity.

Yet, Japanese cuisine extends far beyond sushi. Our mission is to make authentic Japanese food accessible worldwide. To achieve this, Suzumo will empower chefs globally with the technology and know-how to prepare delicious Japanese dishes.

We understand that for Japanese cuisine to thrive internationally, it must adapt. Suzumo embraces the fusion of Japanese food with local flavors and culinary traditions. Our commitment is to develop machines that meet global standards and inspire boundless culinary creativity.

Our machines make far more than sushi. Rice is universal, and we envision our technology supporting a vast array of delicious, rice-based dishes. Suzumo is not merely a machine manufacturer; we are ambassadors of Japanese food culture. Our goal is to enable the world to enjoy the full spectrum of delicious Japanese cuisine.
