Background of Exhibit
In North America, the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a growing shortage of labor and an accelerating trend toward automation - a trend that continues today. Alongside the continued expansion of Japanese businesses and the growing popularity of Japanese cuisine, sushi has become more common not only in sushi restaurants but also in supermarkets and retail stores, and recently there has been a trend focusing on onigiri which has led to more businesses handling rice ball products. Also, the consumption of Japanese cuisine and rice-based meals are gaining traction across a variety of settings in the U.S., including universities, hospitals, cafeterias, and hotel buffets. By exhibiting at NRA Show 2025 SUZUMO aims to capture the emerging demand, effectively showcase the appeal of Japanese food and food-processing technologies, and promote Japanese food culture.

Since developing the World’s first sushi maker machine in 1981, Suzumo Machinery Co., Ltd. has been leading the industry of rice machines development. Today, the company’s sushi equipment products are used across a wide range of foods including sushi, onigiri, and rice bowls, etc. in more than 90 countries around the world.
